What's at stake this election ... and next

Hayley Stevens is the gift that keeps giving -- to the GOP. This Hannity article quotes Stevens as saying "Once I concluded that Abdul El-Sayed is not fit to serve in the United States Senate, I had to confront who should. I chose Mike Rogers." If there is some animosity in Stevens' statement, that's el-Sayed's fault. If he'd congratulated her for a well-run, hard-fought campaign, this weekend didn't have to happen.

Instead, el-Sayed insisted on following Hasan Piker's school of winning with magnanimity. He was likely going to lose without this fiasco. This fiasco just makes el-Sayed's losing more likely.

Stevens lost the August Democratic primary to El-Sayed. She said she endorsed him anyway and "put the party first. Instead, I was shut out," she wrote. "The endorsement was welcomed; the people behind it seemed to be forgotten."

Then came the ads. Stevens said a group supporting El-Sayed ran one tying grocery costs to America’s support for Israel. She said another, from El-Sayed’s own campaign, featured Tucker Carlson. "Blaming Israel for the price of eggs and elevating Tucker Carlson are not the way to build trust or bring people together," she wrote.

That's the understatement of the year. This is a statewide race. You need people from multiple groups/ethnicities. If you're in a congressional district, you can ignore different groups if you have a dominant group. That's the case in Ilhan Nur Said Elmi's district in Minneapolis. That's impossible in a statewide race like in the state of Michigan. There's too many ethnicities and religions to think that one group can push you over the top. This is the personification of career politician:

One minute, el-Sayed says something. The next minute, he's saying the opposite. What a piece of trash. Winning this election means 2028 will be a good year. Winning this election means a major civil war within the Democrat Party. If you think that the DSAs are going away, think again.
