In the primary fight for Senate seat, Abdul El-Sayed is trying to defeat a congresswoman, Rep. Haley Stevens, for the Democratic nomination. The winner will advance to the General Election and face GOP candidate Mike Rogers.
“A lot of Democrats are, I think, starting to realize if they embrace Democratic Socialists of America politicians like El-Sayed, they’re digging their own grave,” Washington Times columnist Robert Knight told American Family News.
Congressional primaries are happening today in Michigan, Kansas, Missouri, Virginia, and Washington state.
The influence of the DSA is not being hidden in some of those races, including in Michigan’s 7th District race, where DSA member William Lawrence is on the Democrat ballot today along with two other Democrat candidates.
El-Sayed has publicly stated he is not a member of the DSA, and his campaign has not been publicly endorsed by the radical organization that has endorsed a communist platform to abolish the U.S. Senate and allow a reorganized Congress to elect the U.S. president, among other audacious plans for a future United States.
Despite his denials, news reporters and internet sleuths are pointing out El-Sayed has been a frequent attendee at numerous DSA events, at least six in all, going back to at least 2019, The Washington Free Beacon reported.
DSA members have also been sloppy on social media about hiding the organization’s door-knocking, get-out-the-vote operation in Michigan.
In a compilation of polls, a Real Clear Politics average shows El-Sayed with a 10-point lead over Stevens. The same polls predict Rogers (pictured at right) would beat El-Sayed in November but lose to Stevens.
“I think Republican strategists are probably rooting for El-Sayed to win,” Knight observes, “because it’s easier to show how radical he is.”
Looking at the midterm elections overall, Gary Bauer tells AFN the Republicans should not hold back when warning voters what DSA candidates would do to our republic in Congress.
“I have felt for some time now that the phrase ‘These people are crazy’ is probably a great campaign theme,” Bauer says.
