MORNING GLORY: Michigans Democratic Senate primary had two winners — but only one was on the ballot

Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed is and Hasan Doğan Piker is Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed.

Thats the bottom line for Michigan voters considering the race for an open United States Senate seat as they prepare for that October-November election. (Early voting in Michigan begins on October 24 and ends November 1, 2026. Election Day is November 3, 2026.)

El-Sayed is the Democratic nominee for Michigans open United States Senate seat, and Piker is a progressive Twitch commentator. A particularly vulgar, hate-filled, racist “streamer,” an online ranter who hates Blacks, Whites and women of all races with seemingly equal passion. This isnt a hidden secret. Pikers calling card is the endless streaming of his unhinged diatribes. Id recommend searching for his clips on X, formerly known as Twitter, but you dont really need that sort of unhinged radical ranting in your life. Piker is Robespierre without even a false front of education. 

In a major embarrassment for the El-Sayed campaign, the University of Washington was recently forced to a planned, university-hosted lecture featuring Piker, citing flaws in their approval process. Though the school didn’t ban him from campus grounds entirely, stripping him of an official institutional platform shows just how toxic his rhetoric is to mainstream institutions.

El-Sayed attached himself to Pikers hip in order to win the Michigan Democratic primary (barely) over liberal Congresswoman Haley Stevens. Piker is now effectively on the general election ballot with El-Sayed. If El-Sayed wins, so does Piker. Piker would then become the new kingmaker of internal Democratic Party politics. Attaching himself to this malign force in American media was a reckless move by El-Sayed, the equivalent of a Republican candidate palling around with white supremacist Nick Fuentes.

But it worked. Sort of. El-Sayed/Piker polled 743,455 votes last Tuesday. His principal opponent, Congresswoman Haley Stevens, tallied 727,758 votes—so El-Sayeds/Pikers margin of “victory” was 15,697. As a third candidate, Mallory McMorrow, who dropped out of the race, still polled 61,407 votes, the El-Sayed/Hasan Piker “ticket” didnt even garner a majority of Democratic primary voters.

And then the defections from the Democrats posting their goodbyes to the Democratic Party online began. They announced their intention to vote for GOP nominee Mike Rogers, a seven-term congressman from Michigan who retired after his tenure as chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Rogers is a former FBI special agent and U.S. Army lieutenant. Mike Rogers is the definition of “normal Michigan guy.”

Rogers ran against Elissa Slotkin in the 2024 Michigan Senate race and lost in the general election by a truly narrow margin. Rogers polled a bit over 2,694,000 votes, and Slotkin won her seat by just 18,000 votes, about a third of 1%. It wont take many defections to put Rogers over the top in Michigan this year.,
