Article Context

An opinion column argues Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed risks losing to Republican Mike Rogers because of arrogance and weak outreach. It cites CNN reporting that Black and Jewish leaders feel snubbed, including Lansing's Democratic mayor, and that El-Sayed privately asked streamer Hasan Piker to tone down rhetoric without disavowing him. The author says El-Sayed's overconfidence was already shown by his narrow 1-point primary win over Haley Stevens.
