INTRO: With less than two weeks until the midterm elections, candidates from coast to coast are competing in increasingly tight races. In Michigan, Senate candidates Abdul El-Sayed, a Democrat, and Mike Rogers, a Republican, are locked in a closely watched battle. In an exclusive interview on Fox’s “Special Report” with Bret Baier, El-Sayed said that the U.S. had already prevented Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon under the Obama administration and that this military operation in Iran wasn’t critical.
