What an interesting turn of events for Michigan. Prominent Jewish Democrats, some whom are major donors, are now signaling that they’ll back Mike Rogers in the general if “Dr” Abdul El-Sayed wins the primary on August 4th.
Ahead of the upcoming primary election on Aug. 4, Jewish donors spoke with the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA) about the possibility of El-Sayed, who has been an outspoken critic of Israel, becoming the party’s nominee for the Michigan Senate seat. JTA reported that several prominent Jewish fundraisers have already begun to see Rogers as a “hedge” and are planning to raise funds for him against El-Sayed.
“There are leaders in our Jewish community who are longtime, lifelong Democrats and Democratic fundraisers, who are very concerned with where their party’s going,” Jewish Federations of North America national chair of government relations Dennis Bernard said. “And if this is the case, they’ve made it clear, both financially and with their vote, that they would support Mike Rogers in the event El-Sayed wins the primary.”
That’s quite something isn’t it? Then again, El-Sayed has made his position abundantly clear. He hates everything about Israel with a burning passion. In fact, I’m sure he wishes he would’ve come up with the idea of arresting Netanyahu first instead of Mamdani piping up about it.
