Mallory knows. she knows.

A leaked memo from Republican insiders (reported & shared by journalist Ken Klippenstein) reveals that the GOP is more afraid of leftwing candidates like Abdul El-Sayed & Francesca Hong than standard 'moderate' corporate Dems. Along with that memo I break down these two races including clips & data.

haley stevens massive crash out post from last night already has more views than her gretchen whitmer endorsement post. is that good?

$60 million in outside spending led up to this, their final summation of the race & the message Stevens' team is banking on to drive hundreds of thousands of Michiganders to the polls to cast their ballot for her next Tuesday: "THEY'RE MAKIN' FUN OF ME ON THE INTERNET!"

honestly, had to check that this was a real campaign ad by Haley Stevens and not a spoof ad, but, nope, right from her campaign.

Ok…

She knows she’s losing so she said let’s just go mask off.

Don't stop, she's already dead, but it's funnier this way.

lol time to check in on twitter to see how the polls are going down

There's going to be a centrist Uncommitted but specifically just because Abdul is Arab lol

I took a look at the Bluesky users who most frequently posted about Democratic Michigan Senate candidates since May 1st. Based on self-stated location, a larger proportion of the accounts that most often post in support of Haley Stevens are from outside Michigan than those supporting Abdul El-Sayed.

Here you go, all queued up. She calls him the "leading candidate" lol: youtu.be/RMX7jBryj0o?...

LOVE to see it

The Democratic establishment said it was getting rid of the grating, cynical style of wokeness it blamed for its 2024 loss to Donald Trump. Then the Left began winning primaries, and those same Democrats changed their tune.

Cannot get over how electable just drifting away from a constituent who asked you a challenging question makes you.

So, like, this is on purpose, right? Like, this is a set up for everyone online to make fun of her so they can pivot the campaign to “Why won’t Abdul condemn his toxic AbdulBros?” in the final week so they can distract from her Palantir staffer, the likely FEC violation, her anti-Arab surrogate, etc

"Cool kids on the Internet. They're doing the cool kid chatter. Some of 'em might be the coastal elites, making fun of how I talk. But let's be real. They're making fun of Michigan. They're thinking they're better than us. Their jokes, their criticism, only make me fight harder." -- Haley Stevens
