near his campaign.

I don't care for Piker one way or the other but most of the candidates he supports and gets his under 30 audience to support end up winning.

Its statewide in a trump-won state.

Piker is poison.

...whoch we can probably agree is far to the right of Michigan

Take selfies with him? No? Then it's not really the same is it?

Tying yourself to a guy that said he would "vote for Hamas." Isn't going to go the way you think.

A state trump won, twice.

Silly to defend this.

If El Sayed wins the primary he will most likely win the general election. Talk in November

You are drastically underrating how much this will hurt him.

Similar with Planter and his issues in Maine, already trailing in the polls to Collins

With polling compared to Mike Rogers El-Sayed leads with women and younger men. Mike Rogers leads with older men so he will have to make up ground where he trails but I think he can reach a lot of the uncommitted and younger voters to help him win statewide.

Piker will probably lose the Fox News crowd but they were likely to lose those voters anyway. Most people especially younger voters will seek out these people themselves on whatever platforms they're on and make up their own mind. El-Sayed was not in first place in polling before the rally he did with Piker. Since the outrage over that he has actually moved to first place and got more grassroots donations.

Running ads with pikers own words and their pictures together.

"Would vote for Hamas."

"Rapes don't change my view."

from the article:

That makes sense

Not between her and El Sayed

I just read it too fast

Thanks!

'Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, one of the nation’s most prominent progressives, is endorsing Dr. Abdul El-Sayed for Senate in Michigan, wading into her first contested Senate primary of 2026 in one of the nation’s top battlegrounds.

Her endorsement, which she made in an interview with The New York Times, represents one of Ms. Ocasio-Cortez’s most assertive moves so far this year to build up the left flank of the Democratic Party. And it puts the congresswoman from New York in direct conflict with Senator Chuck Schumer, who has backed a more moderate candidate, Representative Haley Stevens, who he argues is more electable.


.... The race pits Dr. El-Sayed, an outspoken progressive proponent of Medicare for all, against the moderate Ms. Stevens, who has been boosted by more than $16 million in super PAC spending, including millions from pro-Israel groups. Mallory McMorrow, a state senator who has built a national following of her own, has run as a progressive and tried to occupy an ideological middle ground between the other two..."
