Never say never. Abdul El-Sayed COULD win the Michigan Senate race in November.
After all, everybody thought Donald Trump was dead in the water in 2016. His political coffin was buried after driving a wooden stake through his heart so many times that the Democrat Party literally lost its mind and soul, and has yet to recover from the experience.
But I wouldn't bet on it. If I were a bettor on Polymarket or any of those other "prediction market" sites, I would put my money on Mike Rogers.
Trump, after all, never said that he absolutely despised the American people. Abdul's "grab 'em by the p***y moment caught on camera is a direct shot at Michiganders.
Abdul El-Sayed: 'I hate Mackinac so much' -- Dem Senate candidate rips on top Michigan destination https://t.co/gCMlXcGEB3

For those of you who don't know, Mackinac Island is a beloved vacation spot in Michigan. Its lovely setting, made-for-tourism economy, and strict no-motor rules make it a charming spot for the middle- and upper-middle class to visit. Its permanent population is tiny, but it's one of those places that everybody in Michigan knows about.
They probably even have a mug they picked up with Mackinac on one side and their name on the other. You know, a name like "Bob" or "Mary," not "Mohammed."
So it should come as no surprise that Abdul here doesn't care for it. It's the sort of thing that prosperous white people who don't have post-graduate degrees tend to enjoy, and he prefers the Dearborn vibe when he escapes from tony Ann Arbor.
I voted for Biden. I voted for Harris. I will vote for Mike Rogers. I just donated to the campaign.

AES — he deserves a three-letter nickname just as AOC does — most definitely sees himself as the "other." He is equally at home with graduate students discussing CRT, doctors discussing which genitals to chop off of children, and Islamists discussing how the Muslim Brotherhood can take over the West.
No moderate Democrat, he. He's the new, vibrant, BETTER kind that David Hogg has been agitating for.
Former DNC Vice-chair David Hogg thinks that there is no room for moderates in the Democrat party:

No doubt he and his bosom buddy Hasan Piker would view a trip to Mackinac as akin to visiting a zoo filled with dying animals whose time has come and gone.
Hasan Piker says he wants to FLOOD illegals into the United States so they can "f*ck your sisters and daughters" to "destroy the white race"

I am demanding the Democratic Party voice PUBLICLY that they denounce Hasan Piker's comments.
If they don't, let this post be proof…

I am demanding the Democratic Party voice PUBLICLY that they denounce Hasan Piker's comments.
If they don't, let this post be proof that they support every single thing he has ever said.
“We want more immigrants to come into your countries and then they’re gonna f*ck your sisters and then your daughters.”
“We’re here to destroy the White race, b*tch.”
AES spent his last day campaigning with good ol' Hasan, and celebrated his win alongside him. He's gotten a lot of grief about that, of course, and Hasan has a word or two for the same people that David Hogg took to the woodshed.
Hasan Piker (who refused to vote for Kamala Harris) is calling for "Marxist-Leninist" punishment against Democrats who don't back El-Sayed.

He said Democrats should be punished for “factionalism” and forced to “follow the party line.”

Hasan Piker (who refused to vote for Kamala Harris) is calling for "Marxist-Leninist" punishment against Democrats who don't back El-Sayed.
He said Democrats should be punished for “factionalism” and forced to “follow the party line.”
“If there's one Marxist-Leninist doctrine the Democratic Party should deploy, it's that.”
This is authoritarian language.
Some progressives are worried that Hasan is a liability for AES, and even Bernie Sanders has said that the man is just a bit beyond the pale. But it's hard to separate AES from Hasan because...they are inseparable. AES went out of his way to make him so.
You don't make your closing argument for the primary with somebody you can later disavow. His voters are Hasan Piker people, and he knows it.
Nope, El-Sayed had an opportunity to disavow Hasan Piker, and he refused, so now he is officially tethered to his candidacy. There’s no backtracking now. https://t.co/yTYv4lSAPV

This election will be about whether you are a Hasan Piker person or a Mackinac Island one. That's not because Republicans are painting AES into a corner and calling him, unfairly, anti-American.
— Mike Rogers (@MikeRogersForMI) August 7, 2026
AES painted himself into that corner. And all the Democrats decided they wanted to smell the paint fumes alongside him.
Soon they will discover that's not a good way to get high; it's how you get a splitting headache.
