Tucker Carlson praised Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic Senate nominee in Michigan, calling the candidate’s agenda “literally Trumpian.”
El-Sayed prevailed in last month’s Democratic primary over Rep. Haley Stevens, despite being outspent nine-to-one, thanks in large part to more than $30 million in ad buys from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. He has pledged to oppose continued U.S. aid to Israel.
El-Sayed’s Republican opponent is former Rep. Mike Rogers, who chaired the House Intelligence Committee and has been a fervent supporter of Israel. Given Americans’ increasingly negative views of Israel, Rogers’ campaign is reportedly concerned about AIPAC spending money on its behalf.
On Wednesday’s Tucker Carlson Show, the host spoke with Saagar Enjeti, co-host of Breaking Points, where the two discussed, among other topics, the race in Michigan.
“I wouldn’t vote for Mike Rogers at gunpoint,” Carlson stated.
Enjeti responded by noting that Rogers lost a Senate race to Democrat Elissa Slotkin in 2024, despite Donald Trump carrying Michigan that year.
“And so that’s the candidate,” Enjeti said. “A literal loser who lost when Donald Trump won the state, just to show you how much of a headwind he had at his back.”

Many of them are in the thrall of Jewish organizations like Spectre’s and Soros’, that make every effort to suborn their native cultures with hostile alien cultures to weaken them. They’ve been brainwashed for more than a generation that up is down and multiculturalism has superior outcomes to homogenous societies, despite all evidence.
Regardless, I’m America first.
America First doesn’t push Americans deeper into debt to give money to foreign countries.
America First doesn’t go halfway around the world to start wars on behalf of foreign countries.
Europe can choke on Muslims, for all I care. I’m concerned about American shores and American families.
It makes no sense to go to war with Iran with the pretense of preventing them being nuclear armed, and then feign indifference whether Muslims take over two of the three nuclear powers in Europe.
