Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin will apparently talk to anyone about the Democrats’ lawfare plans if they capture the majority in the House or Senate next week; all you have to do is ask. Slotkin, while campaigning Thursday for congressional candidate Sean McCann, dished on what she has up her sleeve, according to an undercover video obtained exclusively by Townhall. “I’m worried that we’re going to be too nice,” the person said to Slotkin in the video, triggering a smirk from the senator. “What are we going to do to hold the Trump regime and its collaborators responsible? I’m talking prosecutions,”...

Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and his Democratic primary rival, Rep. Haley Stevens, clashed Friday ahead of a Sunday campaign event where both were expected to make a rare appearance together. The public rift between the two Democrats comes just days before one of the country's most hotly contested Senate races, as Republican nominee Mike Rogers seeks to peel off centrist Democratic voters. El-Sayed and the more moderate Stevens offered starkly differing visions for the future of the party during the primary, and although Stevens endorsed El-Sayed after he won the nomination, the two largely haven't campaigned alongside each...

DETROIT — Days before the Nov. 3 election, the Democratic fiancé of former Senate hopeful Haley Stevens declared he intends to vote for Republican Mike Rogers for U.S. Senate, saying he's become convinced over the last three months that Democrat Abdul El-Sayed is an antisemite. Jason Turkish, a Jewish Democrat and disabilities and civil rights attorney from Huntington Woods, is engaged to be married to U.S. Rep. Stevens of Birmingham, whom El-Sayed narrowly defeated in the Aug. 4 Democratic primary. "I’ve just seen an escalation in his rhetoric since the primary, and it makes folks unsafe. Every time he talks...

Democrat Abdul El-Sayed has increased his polling lead to 7 percentage points over Republican Mike Rogers, a former congressman, among likely voters in a nationally watched U.S. Senate race in Michigan. Mitchell Research & Communications conducted the statewide poll Oct. 26-27 for CBS Detroit and other Michigan television stations. It surveyed likely voters in the Nov. 3 general election. "El-Sayed is in the driver's seat for a big victory on November 3rd," the researchers said. El-Sayed was the choice of 51% of likely voters, with Rogers at 44%, in the latest Mitchell poll. Three percent were undecided, and third-party candidates...

The 2026 midterms aren’t even over yet, and Vice President JD Vance has already dropped a bomb into the 2028 presidential election cycle: he might not run. Vance told the audience at a Michigan town hall that he had not yet made a decision about whether or not he would seek the Republican presidential nomination in 2028 — and said it was certainly a possibility that he would sit the election out. Host Tony Dokoupil started the ball rolling by jumping on a comment Vance had made earlier in the evening — namely that he might be “out of a...

There was an ad put out in support of Democrat Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed that has been getting a lot of attention and earning a lot of ire. It came from Rebellion PAC, which was co-founded by leftist Young Turks online show co-creator Cenk Uygur, who is the uncle of far-left Twitch streamer Hasan Piker. The ad is supporting El-Sayed, who campaigned and shared quality time with Piker during the primary. The clip features a couple in a grocery store deciding what to buy and saying they have to put the eggs back because that money has to be...

LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) — Mallory McMorrow, the Democratic state senator who dropped out of the Michigan U.S. Senate race ahead of the August primary, says a fake poll helped sink her campaign after it admitted it fabricated its data. Wedgewood Polls, a self-described polling firm with an X account created in June 2026, released the survey on June 29. It showed progressive Abdul El-Sayed at 46%, moderate Haley Stevens and McMorrow at 9%. It also had McMorrow trailing Republican Mike Rogers, who was unopposed for the nomination. In a statement Tuesday, Wedgewood said it fabricated the results as a “social...

U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday attacked former U.S. President Barack Obama for campaigning for Abdul El-Sayed, Michigan’s Democratic Senate nominee, labeling him a “Muslim Brotherhood Jihadist.” In a post on Truth Social, Trump said El-Sayed “hates Jews and Blacks and Americans and Trump. “Michigan doesn’t want an arrogant, open borders, fake doctor, jihadist,” Trump wrote. He urged voters to back Republican nominee Mike Rogers.

I’ve warned before about the consequences of the 2026 election amounting to enabling the vengeance-minded wing of the Democratic Party, and that their target list will run much, much longer than just President Trump. Now, the Left has made explicitly clear that they plan to punish young people who had the audacity to try and serve the country in a Republican administration – and the costs for their careers will be great. Democrat Senator Elissa Slotkin, currently one of the CIA’s Senators tangentially from Michigan, who repeatedly acts as an object lesson in demonstrating what GLP-1 overuse does to the...

This reeks of sheer panic. Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed talked to Bret Baier and Fox News recently, because he's obviously desperate and terrified of losing, and Bret wanted to finally get a direct answer about a letter signed by El-Sayed in 2012 in support of the Muslim Brotherhood. Shockingly, Abdulrahman was not willing to give such an answer. ... Not only would El-Sayed not give an answer, he wouldn't even let Baier ask the question! This dude is flailing ... This is a man who is scared to death.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) is facing an ethics complaint filed to the United States Senate over comments she made earlier this month that many characterized as a "threat" to conservatives who are thinking about working for the Trump administration. During an Oct. 13 University of Chicago event, Slotkin drew criticism after a clip went viral showing her saying she wants to pursue "signature cases" against people who "enabled" President Donald Trump and push a "deterrence message" for young people. "I want young people coming out of school to say, 'Should I go work for the Trump administration? Like, that sounds...

The Michigan Senate candidates faced off in their second and final debate before the Nov 3 general election Former Rep. Mike Rogers and his Democratic opponent, Abdul El-Sayed, tore into each other at their second Michigan Senate debate Wednesday evening. Rogers, a former FBI special agent and the Republican U.S. Senate candidate, clashed with El-Sayed over the personal barbs, accusations and fierce divides that have defined one of the country's most anticipated Senate elections.

The sour, bitter face of our enemy is the face of the chubby girl who always tried to get between you and her hot roommate — except instead of a double-bagger trying to block your shot, she’s now a Democrat trying to condemn you to serfdom. It’s the same face you see worn by malignant amphibians like Elissa Slotkin (D-CIA), a particularly loathsome creature who trumpets her time at the Central Intelligence Agency to establish her phony USA! USA! bona fides. This comes at the same time she supports a Jew-hating communist to be her co-senator who is, at minimum,...

The Democratic hopeful said that black people's “experience with somebody who looks like me is not a good one.” Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed said during a recent interview that some black Detroiters’ experiences with “somebody who looks like me” involve being “talked at from behind bulletproof glass,” catcalled, and sold single cigarettes at gas stations and stores. During an interview with “The Root” publisher Ashley Allison, El-Sayed said some black Detroiters’ “experience with somebody who looks like me is not a good one.” “You go into a gas station. You go to a party store. You’re being talked...

Big news on the El-Sayed front. James O’Keefe, the spymaster of conservatism, has revealed that Abdul Muhammed is actually – and illegally – being financed from overseas. One of O’Keefe’s Project Veritas operatives penetrated El-Sayed’s campaign, hitting it off with Abdoul Beckwith, the campaign’s “regional field organizer.” Beckwith proceeded to give O’Keefe’s guy a complete rundown on the internals of the sheik’s campaign, including the illegal contributions coming in from foreign sources. “You know, he has people from overseas that donate to him… no, it is not allowed.” Quite so. Federal election law is very clear on this. Statute 52...

Abdul El-Sayed's Senate campaign is in full-blown panic mode after an undercover O'Keefe Media Group video caught one of its field organizers claiming the candidate takes overseas donations. The video dropped on Monday. By the end of the day, the Michigan Democrat Party had confirmed that the organizer who spilled the beans about the campaign’s illegal donations, Abdoul Beckwith, has been fired. No investigation, no review, no waiting to see how the story played out. Party officials cut him loose almost immediately, and the El-Sayed campaign rushed out a statement calling his comments "untrue," "wildly misinformed," and "not reflective of...

President Donald Trump will rally Michigan supporters in St. Clair County on Saturday – nine days before the Nov. 3 election. The city of Port Huron said the event will be the first presidential visit in county history. Trump is expected to stump for Michigan Republicans near Canada amid a trade war with that country. President Donald Trump is set to return to Michigan nine days before the pivotal midterm election — and one day after former President Barack Obama rallies with Democrats in Detroit. Trump will rally supporters in St. Clair County on Sunday, the Republican National Committee announced....

Abdul El-Sayed is being slammed over a resurfaced Columbia University research paper he authored with a “racist and eugenics outcome” that concluded Arab women should only breed with their own kind for optimal health outcomes. El-Sayed — who has repeatedly called himself a physician though he never completed his medical school residency — warned in the 2011 paper published in the “Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health” of the hazards of “interethnic mating” — which he insisted increased the risk of children being born premature. “Our findings suggest that interethnic mating may be associated with increased risk for adverse birth...
