Michigan Voters Are JUMPING SHIP — Democrat Voters Vow to BACK Mike Rogers Over Socialist Abdul El-Sayed

Democrat voters in Michigan are jumping ship in droves after radical progressive Abdul El-Sayed narrowly clinched the Democratic Senate nomination Tuesday night.

Even loyal MS NOW viewers and self-described liberals are openly declaring they will not vote for the socialist-backed candidate and will instead support Republican Mike Rogers in November.

MS NOW host Chris Jansing herself reported the stunning defection:

"And I want to tell you really quickly, as I was getting on the plane this morning, A guy who was a big fan of MSNOW said to me, 'I'm anxious to see who wins... I voted for Haley Stevens … because of Israel. And I don't like the position that Abdullah Al-Sayed has on Israel. And in fact, if he wins, I will be voting for Mike Rogers.'"

That was not an isolated comment. Michigan Democrat Dave Tigay put it bluntly: “I will not vote Democrat. I’LL SWITCH OVER!”

Another Democrat voter was equally clear: “I am VERY concerned about the socialist aspect of Abdul… I’m a liberal, NOT a socialist.”

🚨 WOW! MSNOW is now PANICKING after Democrat voters told her they're voting Mike Rogers (R) because Abdul El Sayed (D) became the MI Senate nominee

The backlash is real. El-Sayed, the former Wayne County health official and Bernie Sanders/AOC favorite who has called for Medicare for All, abolishing ICE, and cutting off aid to Israel while labeling its actions a “genocide,” just edged out moderate Rep. Haley Stevens in one of the most expensive and bitter Democrat primaries in history.

Just a psyop to motivate the leftwards to get out and vote and to lull the Republicans into continued complacency.

Oddly the crazies that have taken control of the democrat party are helping the Republicans. Half of the registered democrats support socialism communism. The nonsocialists non-communists of the democrat party will either stay home or vote Republican.

There were also a lot of Republican voters who crossed over to vote for El Sayed in the primary so Roger’s would have a much easier time winning in November.

” Michigan Democrat Dave Tigay put it bluntly: “I will not vote Democrat. I’LL SWITCH OVER!” “

Until, of course, the Union thugs show up at your door on election day and tell you how you should vote...

Self-described liberals are openly declaring they will not vote for the socialist-backed candidate.

Liberals wondering how a socialist candidate made it this far.

Ignorance is not bliss
