Rogers on Fox Talks State of the Race and Farm Bureau Endorsement
This morning, Mike Rogers joined Fox News’ America’s Newsroom to discuss the state of the Senate race in Michigan, his recent endorsement of Michigan Farm Bureau's AgriPAC, and the second assassination attempt on President Trump.
Mike Rogers: “We do a diner tour in Michigan. I have found more common sense in the average American diner than all the committee rooms back in Washington, D.C. and they come up with some great ideas. They see things are broken… This is the first time in history because of the Democrats we import more food than we export. We have more foreign produced cars in America than domestic cars. Your credit card debt has gone over a trillion dollars… I think people are ready for that change. They want to get back to what works.”
Bill Hemmer: “How has Michigan changed?”
Mike Rogers: “You saw the auto worker for Trump just a little bit ago on your program. That is completely different. He’s getting 65% and 70% of auto workers saying they are going to vote for us... Those folks are starting to drift to a Republican because they see the problem and the damage the Democrats have done to the industry and to the state… 400,000 manufacturing jobs will be taken out of the state of Michigan because of the EV mandates.”
Dana Perino: “There has been no mention of farmers or ranchers and what they’re going through. What’s going on? Why are they being ignored?”
Mike Rogers: “I just got the Farm Bureau endorsement this week which was pretty significant because they haven’t endorsed a Republican since 2006 for this seat because we did talk to farmers. We are trying to understand exactly what’s going on. The regulatory environment that Washington D.C. is putting on these farmers is going to put them out of business. Now they are talking about increasing the Estate Tax. What farmers care about is their kids and their grandkids. They want to be able to produce enough food and they want to pass it on to their kids. Democrats are saying you can’t do that… 140,000 family farms have gone away. We have 45,000 left in Michigan, we are going to have to fight to keep those farms and we want to let them farm in a way they can produce food.”
