Jewish Democrats in Michigan Back Republican Mike Rogers Over Abdul El-Sayed
Jewish Democrats in Michigan are crossing party lines to support Republican Mike Rogers in his Senate race against Abdul El-Sayed. Rogers, who lost his last Senate bid by fewer than 20,000 votes, is targeting Jewish voters uneasy with El-Sayed's vocal criticism of Israel and association with controversial streamer Hasan Piker. An open letter from Jewish leaders urging support for Rogers has circulated, with one organizer calling it a 'do-or-die moment' due to perceived 'anti-Jewish drift' in the Democratic Party. Rogers' campaign has asked AIPAC not to run ads supporting him, fearing backlash from voters angry over the war in Gaza.14 sourcesSee all sources
