Not unlike 2016 when voters wanted an out-of-the-box candidate in Trump vs political establishment Hillary.

Bernie Sanders' populist messaging -- the economy is rigged to protect billionaires ... politics is corrupt because of bought and paid for candidates (see Mike Rogers) -- is finally hitting home.

Voters are no longer content playing by clubhouse rules in both parties.

El-Sayed is a fearless strong candidate. He just beat a legitimate candidate who was armed with $70 million in campaign funding.

The Michigan Senate race will be the focal point for the GOP -- with tons of money and messaging to beat down the "commies ... coming for your house ...." Trump and the GOP have nothing else to offer other than high gas prices, high grocery prices, corruption, an unnecessary war, ICE, authoritarianism, etc etc etc. Michigan 2026 = Gettysburg.
