Democratic Rep. Elissa Slotkin holds a 5% edge over former Rep. Mike Rogers in Michigan’s 2024 U.S. Senate contest, a poll indicates, according to the Detroit Free Press.

The outlet, which reported that Slotkin leads Rogers 47%-42%, noted that the poll performed by EPIC-MRA has a plus or minus four percentage point margin of error, and that EPIC-MRA had contacted “600 randomly selected voters from” around Michigan for the survey.

While 6% leaned in the direction of backing a third-party candidate, 4% remained undecided, declined to answer, or indicated they would not vote in the contest, according to the Free Press.

HARRIS HOLDS NARROW LEAD OVER TRUMP IN ‘BLUE WALL’ STATES MICHIGAN, PENNSYLVANIA, WISCONSIN: POLL

When former President Donald Trump endorsed Rogers in March prior to the August GOP primary for the U.S. Senate seat, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., fired off scathing criticism of Rogers.

“Donald Trump just endorsed the worst Deep State candidate this cycle. @MikeRogersForMI is a never Trumper, and a card carrying member of the spy state that seeks to destroy Trump. You have to ask yourself who gives Trump this awful advice? Who’s next, John Bolton?” Paul posted.

“If he’s good with Mike Rogers (R-Deep State), maybe he should pick Liz Cheney for VP?” Paul added in another post.

Paul backed former Rep. Justin Amash prior to the primary contest, but Rogers ultimately scored a decisive victory.

Sen. Debbie Stabenow, a Democrat who has served in the Senate since 2001, announced last year that she would not seek another term. 

Michigan’s other senator, Gary Peters, is also a Democrat.
