‘Mike Rogers Is Watching You’: New Ad Blitz From Abdul El-Sayed Attacks Surveillance Support

This story is from the archive. It was covered between 6 October 2026 and 6 October 2026, and nothing below has been updated since. See what is happening now.

Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is leaning into one of the major complaints about surveillance from voters this election cycle.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets center on a Michigan Senate clash involving Mike Rogers and Abdul El-Sayed, but they frame it from opposite directions. Newsweek foregrounds Rogers using the October 7 anniversary to attack El-Sayed and alleges antisemitism, while Wired instead focuses on El-Sayed’s new ad blitz against Rogers and says he is leaning into voter complaints about surveillance. The only overlap is that both extracts present the race as a sharp attack exchange.
