Michigan GOP Senate Candidate Demands Immediate End to Iran War, Champions Diesel Export Ban to Protect American Families

Former U.S. Representative Mike Rogers, the Republican candidate for Michigan’s U.S. Senate seat and a proud recipient of President Donald Trump’s endorsement, took decisive action in a recent social-media video. Rogers addressed the crushing burden of skyrocketing grocery prices on Michigan families and declared that the war with Iran must 'end quickly.' He argued that ending the conflict would bring much-needed relief from Biden’s disastrous energy policies and called for a temporary embargo on American diesel exports until the war is over, recognizing diesel’s critical role in keeping America’s food supply moving. Rogers also reminded voters of his earlier, common-sense call to suspend the state and federal gasoline tax—amounting to about 70 cents per gallon—to provide immediate relief, though he did not specifically mention suspending the federal diesel tax. With the national average price for diesel hitting a record $6.53 per gallon under Biden’s watch, according to the American Automobile Association, Rogers’ proposals stand in stark contrast to the inaction of Democrats. Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, ever eager to play politics, accused Rogers of supporting the war, while former Rep. Justin Amash criticized Rogers’ pragmatic shift. Fox News Digital reached out to both the White House and Rogers’ campaign for comment, as Michigan voters look for real leadership in these challenging times.
