Michigan U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is pandering hard, following signs the black voting bloc may not be all-in for the Democratic Socialist.<\/p>\n

Michigan\u2019s upcoming Senate race tightened this week and was moved to a \u201ctoss-up\u201d according to Fox News Power Ranking data.<\/p>\n

Why? Because black voters aren\u2019t \u201ccoming home to Democrats,\u201d Fox News Politics reported on X.<\/p>\n

Black voters aren\u2019t coming home to Democrats \u2014 and it\u2019s reshaping the 2026 map.<\/p>\n

Only 69% of Black Americans say they\u2019ll support a Democrat in their district, 21 points below Biden\u2019s 2020 share of the Black vote. In Michigan, far-left Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed is pulling just\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/i4xRa4iFaF<\/a><\/p>\n

So, it should come as no surprise that El-Sayed is out there claiming to be \u201cAfrican.\u201d<\/p>\n

Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed desperately attempts to appeal to black voters who overwhelmingly voted for his opponent in the primary:<\/p>\n

Plenty of X users blasted the Senate hopeful\u2019s timely and historically sketchy declaration:<\/p>\n

\n

Abdul was asked this by a Black reporter working for a Black newspaper in Michigan because he was just heckled by a Black voter who said Abdul doesn\u2019t care about Black people<\/p>\n

He says, \u201cthere\u2019s been an effort to divide people against each other.\u201d What a joke. It\u2019s the democrat party\u2019s primary strategy. They put every American in a box and then create animosity. For Abdul to say this just exemplifies again how democrats project everything onto others.<\/p>\n

Black Americans are not African; we have no connection, history, or culture we share with any African country. Playing the I am African\u201d card to Black Americans isn\u2019t a winning strategy. Someone needs to educate Abdul about Black Americans.<\/p>\n
