LANSING — Failed GOP Senate candidate and multi-millionaire Florida resident Mike Rogers claimed in a new radio interview that there’s no longer a “Big Three” in Michigan, writing off Stellantis and the company’s 48,000 U.S. autoworkers. In response, Chair of the Michigan Democratic Party Curtis Hertel released the following statement:
“Mike Rogers’ dismissal of Stellantis and its 48,000 American autoworkers shows exactly why Michiganders rejected him in 2024—he’s an out-of-touch Florida millionaire who abandoned our state and has no idea what’s at stake for working families. While Rogers writes off one of the Big Three automakers, Democrats will continue fighting for every auto job and every worker who built this state’s economy.”
Listen to Rogers’ claim that there’s no longer a “Big Three” in Michigan:

ROGERS: “The President just tweeted today, Scott, that the General Motors and Ford CEOs called and said, ‘Hey, thanks for those tariffs, because you’re saving our truck building capability here in Michigan and around the country.’ So when you have the big, you know, the Big Two now, used to be the Big Three, the Big Two talking about, ‘Hey, thank you for doing that.’”
