Slotkin and Rogers Attack Each Other’s Records in Michigan Senate Debate

In a heated debate for the Michigan Senate seat, incumbent Democrat Gary Peters and Republican challenger John James faced off in a contentious exchange where they attacked each other’s records on key issues facing the state.

One of the most heated exchanges of the night came when Peters criticized James for his record on healthcare, accusing him of wanting to repeal the Affordable Care Act and take away protections for pre-existing conditions. James fired back, accusing Peters of voting to defund the police and supporting radical policies that would hurt Michigan families.

But it was not just Peters and James who were at odds during the debate. Libertarian candidate Max Riekse and Green Party candidate Doug Dern also took aim at the two major party candidates, challenging their records and offering alternative solutions to the problems facing Michigan.

However, it was the attacks between Peters and James that dominated the debate. Peters criticized James for his support of President Trump’s tax cuts, which he claimed benefited the wealthy at the expense of working-class families. James, on the other hand, accused Peters of being a career politician who has failed to deliver for Michigan during his time in office.

One of the key issues that divided the candidates was the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Peters criticized the Trump administration’s response to the crisis, accusing them of failing to provide adequate support for frontline workers and small businesses. James, on the other hand, defended the administration’s actions and accused Peters of playing politics with the pandemic.

Overall, the debate was a fierce and combative affair, with each candidate seeking to highlight their strengths and attack their opponent’s weaknesses. With just a few weeks left until the election, it remains to be seen how these attacks will impact the race for the Michigan Senate seat.
