According to Detroit election data, Republican senatorial candidate Mike Rogers got 5.4% of the Detroit vote compared to Democrat Abdul El-Sayed's 91.8%. Other GOP candidates fared worse, including gubernatorial candidate John James, 5.2%, and Attorney General candidate Doug Lloyd, 4.6%, and Secretary of state candidate Anthony Forlini, 3.9%.
