Rogers, who also ran unsuccessfully for Senate in 2024, was also hit with carpetbagging accusations at that time, as he owns a home in Cape Coral and, at the time, was even registered to vote in Florida. He has since done everything in his power to boost his Michigan bona fides — but the new investigation reveals he is still running much of his campaign out of Florida. "Those included a virtual interview on Nov. 20, a social media video the next day, and another virtual interview on Nov. 26. In between, Rogers told a Michigan-focused audience in a Nov. 24 interview on Wood Radio that 'my whole life is here [in Michigan],' despite being in Florida at the time." Carpetbagging accusations aren't necessarily a game-ender for campaigns, particularly depending on which state and office one is seeking, but they can often have a detrimental impact.
