Republican Michigan Senate hopeful Mike Rogers is breaking with President Trump over his decision to pause sanctions on Russia — but he’s not buying claims that the president is siding with Vladimir Putin over Ukraine. Rogers said Sunday that he would have voted for the bipartisan sanctions legislation that Trump is now declining to enforce, arguing that the administration needs to do more to bring down soaring diesel prices hitting Michigan residents. “I would have voted for the sanctions bill on Russia,” Rogers said during a CNN State of the Union appearance with Dana Bash.
