Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) on Wednesday announced his bid for the U.S. Senate, making him the first prominent\u00a0Republican to launch a campaign to replace the retiring Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.).\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr1_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Rogers, who served seven terms in the House and atop the House Intelligence Committee before retiring in 2014, rolled out his campaign with a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/861397350\/3b1feac356?share=copy\">video<\/a> centered on his previous work in the state and his national security work. He said he has unfinished business to complete for Michigan.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMichigan\u2019s way of life is worth defending,\u201d Rogers said, pointing to his work on the\u00a0Intelligence panel post-9\/11, as well his time with the FBI and in the Army. \u201cI left politics to build cybersecurity companies that can stop foreign threats like China. I thought I put politics behind me, but like you, I know something\u2019s broken.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rogers went on to tick off a litany of issues he sees stemming from the Biden administration, including on immigration, the economy, education and the justice system. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cPolitics has gotten so small and so petty. We\u2019re failing to address big problems,\u201d Rogers said, pointing to the effort by progressives to \u201cban gas stoves\u201d while families are struggling while China is stealing intellectual property.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can do better,\u201d said Rogers. \u201cNo candidate is better prepared to have an impact on Day 1. I\u2019m ready to serve again.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Rogers\u2019s entry gives Michigan Republicans, who have been desperate for some good <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> after years of turmoil with the state\u2019s GOP, a potential political win. They\u2019ve had trouble piggybacking off former President Trump\u2019s win there seven years ago, and had yet to produce a strong candidate to likely take on Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.), the likely Democratic nominee, next year.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.), chairman of the Senate GOP campaign arm, said in a statement that he is \u201cpleased to see\u201d Rogers jumping in the contest.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMike Rogers has devoted his life to serving the people of Michigan and holding communist China accountable. Mike is the type of candidate who can perform well with suburban Michiganders and be a strong part of the eventual ticket in Michigan. I am pleased to see Mike stepping up to run for the U.S. Senate,\u201d Daines said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>A bid by former Rep. Peter Meijer (R-Mich.) could also be on the horizon. He\u00a0launched\u00a0an exploratory committee to examine a possible run last week. Meijer was one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach former President Trump over his actions on Jan. 6, 2021, and subsequently lost his bid for reelection to the House.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>John Tuttle, the vice chairman of the New York Stock Exchange, has also been\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2023\/05\/01\/john-tuttle-senate-michigan-00094485\">considering<\/a>\u00a0a bid for Stabenow\u2019s seat.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Rogers was one of the most prominent House GOP members during his tenure in office and was a presence on the Sunday talk shows. He has since served as a CNN national security analyst and started a national security consulting business.\u00a0He had been kicking around a longshot bid for the presidency earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>Still, Rogers will have to contend with multiple questions in the coming months, including whether he has been out of the political <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> too long, having largely sat out the Trump years. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>The former FBI agent will also have to answer for his past criticisms of the ex-president and the current leader for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination. Rogers last year said that Republicans needed to move on from Trump and that the ex-president\u2019s political tactics are \u201cdestructive.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrump\u2019s time has passed,\u201d Rogers told\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/opinions\/2022\/11\/22\/mike-rogers-2024-gop-presidential-field\/\">The Washington Post<\/a>\u00a0last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2013Updated at 6:39 a.m.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media<\/a> Inc.
