Abdul El-Sayed won Michigan's recent primary for the United States Senate seat that is open in Michigan. He's the most radical Democratic nominee for the Senate since the Civil War. He'll face GOP congressmen and army veteran, FBI, special agent as well, Mike Rogers in the fall.
El-Sayed campaigns with an Islamist supporting extremist by the name of Hasan Piker, who's also a racist and a misogynist.
That El-Sayed hates the state of Israel is not open for debate. He does.
Most Jews and many non-Jews believe that El-Sayed is antisemitic to the core.
Rogers v. El-Sayed is the most important race of 2026.
Michigan's collective common sense will be tested over the next three months.
Will they vote for an experienced, responsible, serious legislator who understands the world and America's role in it and support Mike Rogers?
Or will they vote for the radical who cares for “from the river to the sea” more than he does the national security of the United States?
My money is on Mike Rogers.
