The Briefing
- Michigan Republican Senate nominee Mike Rogers refused to call Trump's Iran war a mistake in a new NBC interview, offering only "We'll find out" when pressed by anchor Tom Llamas.
- Rogers praised Operation Epic Fury enthusiastically when it launched in February 2026 and said publicly he had no problem giving Trump authority to continue it — but reversed course in September once fuel prices soared.
- Recent polls show Democrat Abdul El-Sayed holding a narrow advantage, with the race well within margins of error heading into November 3.
