Former Michigan Rep. Mike Rogers (R), the leading candidate for the Michigan Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate, was revealed to be a registered voter in Florida.
Rogers represented Michigan’s eighth congressional district from 2001 to 2015. As a native of the state, he hopes to once again represent Michigan in Congress.
“I’m proud to be born and raised right here in Michigan,” he wrote in an X post. “And I will be proud to serve my home in the U.S. Senate.”
The tweet caused Austin Cook, the communications director for Democratic U.S. Senate candidate and Rogers’ rival, Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-Michigan), to post a screenshot of the former representative’s voter registration record.
The record shows a Florida Zip code and that he has “active” voter status in Cape Coral, Florida.
It also shows that he registered to vote in Florida on January 24, 2022.

Hill Harper, running for an open U.S. Senate seat in Michigan, returned to Los Angeles earlier this month, where the actor headlined a fundraiser co-hosted by John Legend, as well as other figures including Vivica A. Fox and Mike Tollin.
The event was a needed boost to the actor and activist’s campaign: In the Democratic primary race, Harper is facing Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-mi), who has a wide lead in polls and in her campaign war chest. She had more than $6 million cash on hand as of the end of last year, dwarfing that of her rivals. Harper had almost $150,000.
Harper, best known for his roles in The Good Doctor and CSI:ny, is largely running to the left of Slotkin, a former CIA analyst, and obviously hoping for a breakthrough. He also has relayed what Barack Obama, a classmate at Harvard Law School, told him that as hard...

Back in July, Hill announced that he will run for a U.S. Senate seat in Michigan, challenging Democratic Rep. Elissa Slotkin for the seat currently occupied by senator Debbie Stabenow.

Hill Harper announced on Monday, his plans to run for U.S. Senate in Michigan to replace retiring Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow, who stated in January that she would not be running for reelection in 2024. The actor posted his message to Twitter, dedicating his bid for office to his adopted son, Pierce Harper.
In the attached campaign video, Harper addresses Pierce, saying, “You see the world you’re growing up in doesn’t feel like it’s getting any better, it’s getting more divisive and more dangerous. When you told me you were afraid to go to school because of shootings, that’s not freedom.”
He later added, “At the core of so much of this are too many politicians in office who don’t really care about people.”

The doctor is in … the Michigan Senate race. Actor Hill Harper is setting his sights on politics.
The Good Doctor star on Monday announced he is running for Michigan’s open U.S. Senate seat, challenging U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin for the Democratic nomination.
In an interview with the Associated Press ahead of the announcement, the actor, who owns a home and a coffee shop in Detroit, described himself as a small-business owner, union member and activist and explained how not being a “career politician” would give him an advantage in Congress. “It’s not about party. It’s about people feeling represented,” Harper said. “And being an independent voice in the U.S. Senate is something I believe Michiganders want right now.”
Harper has had a 30-year career in television, co-starring in series such as City of Angels, CSI: NY, Covert Affairs, Limitless and Homeland. He has played Dr.

Bill Maher celebrated St. Patrick’s Day on Friday during his Real Time on HBO – or, as he referred to it, “Alcoholic Christmas” – by bringing up the dangerous parallels between the religious hatreds that fueled politics in last century Ireland and the turmoil in today’s United States between Democrats and Republicans.
“You can’t think about the Irish without thinking about the division,” Maher said, harkening back to the violent rebellions that created a fractured society there. Now, the same level of intensity is bubbling between Democrats and Republicans here, he noted. “We used to pray for the nation. Now each side prays the other side doesn’t destroy the nation.”
Taking excerpts from a speech former President Donald Trump gave recently at the Cpac convention, Maher noted how it reflected an almost Biblical level of intensity about smiting the other side. It was “big talk from a guy...

Nancy Pelosi was elected to another term as Speaker of the House, in an ever-so-tight vote that reflected Democrats’ narrower majority in the next Congress.
Pelosi was elected 216-208 and will serve as speaker for her fourth term. Pelosi got the support of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and others on the left flank of the party. Two Democrats voted for other candidates: Rep. Conor Lamb (D-pa) voted for Hakeem Jeffries, the New York Democrat, and Jared Golden (D-md) voted for Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-il). Representatives Abigail Spanberger (D-va), Elissa Slotkin (D-mi) and Mikie Sherrill (D-nj) voted present.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-ca) garnered 209 votes.
The Covid-19 crisis overshadowed the proceedings. House members are required to wear masks when they are in the floor of the chamber, even when giving speeches. New members were allowed to invite just one guest to their swearing in, in a ceremony that in years past filled the galleries.
