The Associated Press called the Michigan Democratic primary for socialist and anti-Israel candidate Abdul El-Sayed.
With 99% of the votes counted, El-Sayed defeated Haley Stevens 48.5% to 47.5% (14,893 votes).
El-Sayed’s victory is a major defeat for the Democratic establishment.
Members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) or endorsed by the socialists have won House primaries in Colorado and New York. Most Democrats brushed aside concerns that the socialists have started taking over the party despite those victories.
Will the Democrat party change its position now that El-Sayed won a statewide primary?
El-Sayed loves to hang out with far-left streamer Hasan Piker, who thinks America deserved 9/11.
The socialist claimed he never said he wanted to defund the police, but CNN dug up a 2020 interview where he said, “I believe we do need to defund the police.” People even discovered El-Sayed deleting past social media posts with anti-police rhetoric.
He also holds the usual socialist ideas: High taxes, Medicare for All, abolish ICE, open borders, etc.
Of course, El-Sayed hates Israel and AIPAC. He admitted that he struggles “with the question of whether Israel should exist as a Jewish state.”
El-Sayed wouldn’t say anything about Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s death because many Muslims in the state are sad.
“I also want to remind you guys that there are a lot of people in Dearborn who are sad today,” El-Sayed told his campaign. So, like, I just don’t want to comment on Khamenei at all. Like, I don’t think it’s worth even touching that.”
Dearborn has the largest Muslim population per capita in the country, becoming the “first Arab-majority city” in 2023.
Instead, El-Sayed pushed his campaign to concentrate on Israel and pro-Israel groups.
As Professor Jacobson wrote last night, El-Sayed led in polls by double digits.
However, general election polling has El-Sayed behind Republican nominee Mike Rogers.
