Democrats shockingly ditch socialist Abdul El-Sayed for Republican in Michigan election
News 24 ^ | 8/20/26

US Senate Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed has lost support ahead of his election against Republican Mike Rogers in Michigan.

On Thursday, Michigan State Representative Karen Whitsett slammed El-Sayed's policies and declared her support for Rogers.

Whitsett's remarks came during a 'Democrats for Mike Rogers' campaign event, where Rogers claimed his door for new voters "is open".

"To Democrat voters who feel their nominee doesn't represent them and their values, all hope is not lost," Rogers said.

"I'm not asking you to be a Republican. I'm asking you for the opportunity to earn your trust… our door is open."

The DNC's Hamas wing is really ticked off about all this.

Normal people who have identified as Democrats in the past are going to have to face this challenge as the dems go further away from the center - where normal is most comfortable.

I think the fact that he’s a candidate for high public office is pretty shocking.

Even Democrats don’t want a 7th century desert pedo marxist as their ideological foundation.

Shocking that the nation celebrating its 250th is unfavorable to Communism?

Even Schumer knows it. He's going to embrace these nuts and knows they will lose. The Democrat Party won't mind the losses because they can say the socialist wing is a failure. Allow the Republicans to own the last 2 years of Trump and go for all 3 branches in 28.

If the Commies win back House and Senate, he can say he supported them. If they lose, he supported them. Either way, Schumer will be forced out for Van Hollen or Warren as leader.

Communism AND Islamic are too much. Not a good too much, like ‘you got your peanut butter in my chocolate’ too much. Bad like you stabbed your Islam into my commie hole bad.

I am not old enough to remember Pearl Harbor. I am old enough to REMEMBER Pearl Harbor Day, to REMEMBER to honor all those who perished, signed up to serve, fight, die. For my entire life, every year, December 7th is a huge day. Just the phrase “December 7th” triggers all of it.

Hopefully, there are enough democRATs who remember September 11th.

I was thinking the same thing, the other day. “You got the Communist Manifesto on my Koran.” “You got Koran on my Communist Manifesto.” Two Great Hates, that Hate Great together!

The dems have split their party three ways, DSA, moslem, and progressive. Not a winning strategy.

“during a ‘Democrats for Mike Rogers’ campaign event”

Not a fan of this type of “action”.
It still divvies up the vote and causes complacency, thinking that attendees will ACTUALL vote for Rogers.
Choose a better title for the draw.
UAW members don’t want to be caught-DED at this type of rally; they will attend a pro-USA rally.

They have all kinds of cracks. Transsexuals vs the world crack. Racists vs all history crack. Scientists vs humanity crack. Women vs babies & Men crack. Identity politics is eating itself.

IIRC,both Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump were Democrats before they went into politics.

Abby El-Kabong is no different than the other African muzzie who said “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.” This batch of rich kid, Champagne Socialists crack me up. Every one of them are FULL OF SH**! A bunch of backyard Pool Party Che’ Guevaras who wander around shooting off their big mouths while playing “pocket pool” in their suit pants pockets.
