All Eyes on Michigan

 This article first appeared in New English Review.

Tomorrow’s mid-term elections in the US are arguably the most important in our history. With

both the Senate and the House of Representatives up for grabs, the elections will say much

about which direction the country wants to go, especially with so many radical Democratic

Socialists winning the Democratic primaries and threatening to take over the Democratic Party.

At this point, no race is garnering more attention than the Michigan Senatorial race where the

Democratic candidate, Abdul El-Sayed, is running neck-and-neck with Mike Rogers, the

Republican nominee. There could be no starker contrast between the two. Rogers, the Trump-

supported conservative, and El-Sayed, the radical leftist, a person considered by many to be a

radical Muslim, with at the least, moral support from the Muslim Brotherhood, his association

with the vicious anti-American, anti-Semite, Hasan Piker, and himself an anti-Semite to boot, all

opinions and concerns which I share.

Now comes Haley Stevens, whom El-Sayed narrowly defeated in the Democratic primary. At the

last moment, she has come out and endorsed Rogers for Senator, saying that she cannot

support the “anger” of El-Sayed.

Naturally, Stevens has incurred the wrath of her party, including that of soon-to-be former

party leader Charles Schumer. Last night, I watched a replay of CNN’s Anderson Cooper’s

interview with Stevens. Cooper tried very hard to press her on why she came out against El-

Sayed at this late date. Had she not just promised Representative Debbie Dingell (D-MI) that

she would not endorse Rogers? Was the reason really because she was piqued that El-Sayed

had disinvited her to a campaign event in Detroit? Stevens, who admittedly does not come

across impressively in public, danced around the questions and never gave a clear answer, even

as Anderson continued to press her, determined to break her.

My own reaction is that while I was never impressed on the surface watching Stevens during

the campaign (admittedly from a distance on TV), whether she is acting out of spite or whether

she really feels that El-Sayed is not fit to serve, she is doing the right thing and the courageous

thing. In her interview with Cooper, my inference was that she indirectly conceded that El-

Sayed is an anti-Semite, though she did not say it explicitly, and I don’t think she wanted to say

it explicitly. (Stevens is not Jewish herself, but her partner is Jewish, and he has publicly stated

that he is voting for Rogers.)

At any rate, this latest development puts Michigan voters squarely on the spot going into

tomorrow’s election. Many Democrats had voted for Stevens in the primaries. Now she has

come out and said that she cannot support the Democratic candidate. In the face of this, are

they really going to pull the lever for Abdul El-Sayed? When it comes to American politics, I am

beyond making any predictions about anything. But shame on the state of Michigan if they

send Abdul El-Sayed to the US Senate.
