Much has already been said about Abdul El-Sayed’s black voter problem in Michigan. It is certainly real.
It first became apparent during the Democrat Senate primary but it has continued to dog El-Sayed in the months that followed.
For whatever reasons, the black community is just not down with the idea of voting for El-Sayed, and it’s definitely hurting his campaign.
On the flip side, many of these voters seem to genuinely like Republican Mike Rogers.
Here is another example.
Via Overton News:
Democrat Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign message is NOT resonating with black voters in Detroit.
El-Sayed is banking on that voting block in Michigan, but from what these voters are saying on the ground, that’s far from guaranteed.
One voter even admitted he’s a lifelong Democrat who’s crossing party lines to vote for Republican Mike Rogers.
VOTER: “It’s a first time thing because I’ve been Democrat forever. So yeah, I’m switching Republican now.”
Keep in mind, black voters in Detroit REJECTED El-Sayed during the Democrat primary — he received just 31% of the vote against Haley Stevens.
He lost Detroit outright to Stevens by 28 points.
If Rogers can secure even a portion of that vote, it could spell MAJOR trouble for El-Sayed next week.

This will be one of the most closely watched races on election night, that’s for sure.
