Dem bigwigs rush to embrace El-Sayed in critical Michigan race, with Obama, Newsom reaching out

WASHINGTON — Democratic bigwigs are rushing to embrace Michigan Senate hopeful Dr. Abdul El-Sayed and present a united front, with California Gov. Gavin Newsom expected to visit him Monday and former President Barack Obama giving him a call.

The Dem powerbrokers are seemingly trying to soothe moderates in the Wolverine State who might have found El-Sayed too extreme during the bruising Senate primary and encourage them to back the progressive in November.

Newsom, a long-speculated 2028 aspirant, hailed El-Sayed as a “fighter” and called for Dems to unite due to the “existential” moment the country faces.

“House races are important, but the Senate is in play, and it will go through this state. So, getting behind him is going to be important,” Newsom told reporters during his visit to Michigan. “It’s going to be a very tough race in November.”

El-Sayed’s primary fight against Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) was viewed as a “battle for the soul of the Democratic Party” because it pitted a mainstream candidate against a lefty.

Given El-Sayed’s embrace of notorious lefty figures such as Twitch streamer Hasan Piker, who once said that “America deserved 9/11,” many observers have viewed him and Newsom as catering to different ends of the Democratic coalition.

But Newsom rejected that notion and claimed that he’s an “insurgent insider.”

“This notion of insurgency over incumbency is the real message here. People just want fighters; they want people with conviction, strength, sincerity,” Newsom added. “I totally respect that.”

“Dr. Abdul”?

Tell me about this, you media. Is he a doctor like “Dr. Jill Biden”?

I’ve spent time with “Doctors” with PhDs in Islamic Studies. Sunni and Shia both. They’re freaking nuts.

“...because it pitted a mainstream candidate against a lefty.”

Stevens is dumber than Kamala Harris if that’s possible, and the other is a dyed-in-the-wool muzzie. If the above sentence doesn’t make you throw up on yourself, nothing will.

If the devil were blankly running and pulling ahead they’d all rush to embrace him and get on the team.

‘Blankly’ should read blatantly.

El-Sayed hates Jews and berates women.

The Democrats said all this, through Haley, in the primary race.

These are facts.

For the Dems, I quote Tony Stark:

"Not a good plan..."

"El-Sayed hates Jews and berates women."

He's going to have to try harder to stand out from the democrat crowd.

May I suggest an electric vest? Maybe his friends can give him one. Kinda heavy, a little clicker and some wires.

Push the button and forensic team will find your head later.

Try it out first on your farm in an open field. See if it works.

Too much to ask for. We can only pray.

Why are they not using his full name ???

It's 'Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed'... It's obviously a mouthful... But just because you can't easily say it, doesn't mean that it isn't easily typed when writing a story about this Jew hating Muslim.

I wonder if Newscum is bringing his own KY jelly to the Michiganderer El-Kabong Tidepod party.

All the primary “fights” between old line Democrats and DSA candidates were kayfabe. There is no difference between a ‘Rat and a DSA commie. Somebody prove me wrong.

It is the classic "Red | Green Alliance" right now.

But once power is accumulated, Green ALWAYS eats Red in the end.
