The Democratic nominee, Abdul El-Sayed, is one of the candidates most vocally critical of Israel running a statewide race this year, and battleground Michigan \u2014 which has some of the country\u2019s largest Arab and Muslim populations \u2014 is a prime test for whether historically liberal communities will break from Democrats over the foreign policy debate.<\/p>\n<p>This week, Rogers has ramped up <span><u>his efforts<\/u><\/span> to hone in on that corner of the electorate, including dropping a new ad on Tuesday centering a voter wearing a Star of David necklace who described herself as a \u201cpissed off Democrat.\u201d Furthermore, an open letter from Jewish Democrats started circulating Wednesday, in which signatories ask Jewish Democrats and independents to back Rogers over El-Sayed, who the Republican has called \u201cbeyond antisemitic\u201d in the past.<\/p><p>But some experts, including Jewish political leaders in Michigan, say Rogers has a low chance of meaningfully peeling off support from the long-standing Democratic bloc.<\/p>\n<section>\n<div>\n<h2>\n<span>Trending<\/span>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Sam Altman\" class=\"wp-image-2550\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/c4a4b993d2abbbba817e468022555bd1-768x512.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/c4a4b993d2abbbba817e468022555bd1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/c4a4b993d2abbbba817e468022555bd1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/c4a4b993d2abbbba817e468022555bd1.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><h3>\n<span>\n                      Rogue AI Agents Are Alarming Researchers More Than Ever\n                    <\/span>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Pentagon\" class=\"wp-image-2832\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/522bf9c5a0047a711f0db38d76960245-768x512.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/522bf9c5a0047a711f0db38d76960245-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/522bf9c5a0047a711f0db38d76960245-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/522bf9c5a0047a711f0db38d76960245.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><h3>\n<span>\n                      Lawmakers Sound the Alarm After Leadership Shake-up at Military Newspaper\n                    <\/span>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Talk-To-Tom-08-19-26 Illustration\" class=\"wp-image-2808\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/c17f965b12cd47ad9d74052625299ec1-768x512.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/c17f965b12cd47ad9d74052625299ec1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/c17f965b12cd47ad9d74052625299ec1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/c17f965b12cd47ad9d74052625299ec1.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><h3>\n<span>\n                      Talk to Tom: In Search of the D.C.

Haley Stevens in the primary. Alexander says the group is waiting to throw its support behind El-Sayed, and would not do any further endorsements until after the Aug. 30 gathering.<\/p><p>If elected, El-Sayed <span><u>says<\/u><\/span> he would support an immediate arms embargo and oppose distributing \u201cdirect blank-check funding\u201d to foreign militaries, including Israel. The candidate, who is the most <span><u>prominent Muslim<\/u><\/span> running statewide this year, has also gone out of his way to specifically <span><u>condemn<\/u><\/span> antisemitism.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want you to know that my commitment to your safety \u2014 my commitment to Jewish safety \u2014 is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters,\u201d he told prospective voters the day after winning his primary.<\/p><p>This week\u2019s open letter, first reported by <span><u>Jewish Insider<\/u><\/span>, describes Rogers as \u201ca friend to the Jewish community\u201d and asks voters to separate the Republican nominee from President Donald Trump.<\/p><p>\u201cAll of us have felt threatened and alienated by the politics and allies embraced by Abdul El-Sayed,\u201d the letter, led by Detroit businessman Eric Bronstein, reads. \u201cWe cannot allow him to become the Democratic standard-bearer or Michigan\u2019s senator.\u201d<\/p><p>Bronstein did not respond to a request for comment. The group has not publicly released the full letter, and told Jewish Insider it plans to publish the letter online once it has gained \u201ca significant initial group of signers.\u201d<\/p><p>Rogers\u2019 campaign has tried to capitalize on the divide in the meantime by courting Jewish voters, who nationally tend to support Democrats in <span><u>large margins<\/u><\/span>. He has featured Jewish <span><u>faith leaders<\/u><\/span> and members of the community on <span><u>campaign stops<\/u><\/span>.<\/p><p>\u201cWe\u2019re grateful for the support from Jewish Democrats who\u2019ve been ringing our phones off the hook asking what they can do and how they can get involved,\u201d the Rogers campaign\u2019s communications director, Alyssa Brouillet, told NOTUS.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans are similarly trying to court the Jewish vote in other states like Georgia, where Rep. Mike Collins has <span><u>tried to capitalize<\/u><\/span> on Sen. Jon Ossoff\u2019s criticism of the Israeli government \u2014 despite Ossoff\u2019s moderate political views and his status as the state\u2019s first Jewish senator. But El-Sayed\u2019s campaign highlights how, particularly over the last three years, progressive Democrats have had to maneuver condemning Israel\u2019s actions in Gaza while facing backlash from critics who say their comments are antisemitic.<\/p><p>Other left-leaning politicians like New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who is also Muslim, have tried to tailor their messages to somewhat<span><u>weather the storm of criticism<\/u><\/span>\u2014 though El-Sayed is still addressing the fallout from his past comments on Israel-U.S. policy.<\/p><p>When asked by CNN in July if Israel has the right to exist, El-Sayed <span><u>pushed back<\/u><\/span> on the question, calling it a \u201cgotcha game.\u201d<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=2827\">Trump Administration Demands Release of U.S. Citizen \u2018Wrongfully\u2019 Detained in China<\/a><\/p><p>\u201cI think the question we all ought to ask is does everybody have equal rights to peace, dignity and self-determination? That\u2019s Jewish Israelis and Palestinians,\u201d he said later in the interview.<\/p><p>Midwest political strategist Adrian Hemond said one of El-Sayed\u2019s top priorities ahead of the general election should be \u201cgiving a nonslippery answer\u201d when asked sweeping questions about Israel\u2019s right to exist.<\/p><p>\u201cHe\u2019s never given a direct answer to that question, and I think that concerns about his views will persist until he does,\u201d Hemond told NOTUS, adding that he doesn\u2019t think El-Sayed appears to have made a meaningful effort to engage with Jewish communities in the state.<\/p>\n<p>El-Sayed campaign spokesperson Roxie Richner told NOTUS that the candidate remains in \u201cregular dialogue\u201d with local Jewish leaders in hopes of building the \u201cbroadest possible coalition.\u201d<\/p><p>Alexander says she has been in contact with El-Sayed through her work with the caucus, which has been \u201cinundated\u201d with voters\u2019 requests for conversations with the nominee. But she still thinks the Democrat needs to adjust his rhetoric and increase outreach with Jewish voters if he hopes to win in November \u2014 especially since he is \u201ca better messenger for his own ideas than I am.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cThere is a lot of profound \u2014 and still is \u2014 anti-Israel and anti-Jewish rhetoric coming out of that campaign, and it has to be addressed more directly,\u201d Alexander said. \u201cIt has to be addressed, otherwise people will continue to write more letters like that.\u201d<\/p><p>In contrast to El-Sayed, Rogers has billed himself as a pro-Israel candidate, <span><u>saying<\/u><\/span> Israel has \u201cevery right to defend their nation\u201d from threats. While the American Israel Public Affairs Committee <span><u>spent<\/u><\/span> a record-breaking amount to prop up Stevens during the Democratic primary, the group could mount another large spending campaign to support Rogers before November, The New York Times <span><u>reported<\/u><\/span> earlier this month.<\/p><p>There is limited polling on the views of Michigan\u2019s Jewish voters, who  roughly 1.4% of the state\u2019s electorate. A national Associated Press <span><u>survey<\/u><\/span> found that few Jewish adults see either party as highly supportive of their communities, and respondents were divided on whether criticism of Israel counts as antisemitic. Another poll of 500 Michigan Democrats, released three weeks before the primary, found that voters did not place a <span><u>high level of importance<\/u><\/span> on candidates\u2019 positions on Israel and Gaza when making their choice. Almost half had an unfavorable view of AIPAC.<\/p><p>Alexander and Theresa Reid, chair of the Washtenaw County Democratic Party \u2014 the county with one of the largest Jewish populations in the state \u2014 stressed that the issue is not monolithic and there is a significant diversity in thought among Jewish voters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can tell you definitively that there is not one stance on this issue; the strategy conversation is very active,\u201d Reid wrote in an email to NOTUS.<\/p><p>The Washtenaw County GOP\u2019s chair, Jason Rogers, described the letter as \u201ccorrect and necessary\u201d and says he has spoken to a few Jewish Democrats that are <span><u>planning to support<\/u><\/span> Rogers.<\/p><p>\u201cThe Democratic Party has left the Jewish community behind. As Republicans we would welcome them into the real big-tent party,\u201d Rogers wrote in an email. \u201cAbove all, allegiance to our Constitutional Republic comes first.\u201d<\/p><p>In a swing state like Michigan, the power of a few thousand votes cannot be overlooked. Sen. Elissa Slotkin, a Jewish Democrat who positions herself as a moderate critic of Israel, <span><u>bested<\/u><\/span> Rogers in the 2024 senate race by less than a half a percentage point.<\/p><p>With 75 days until the general election, Alexander says the push to break Jewish voters away from El-Sayed doesn\u2019t currently have real traction. While the Democratic candidate has some work to do, she said liberal voters know the stakes are high if they hope to break up Republicans\u2019 control of the Senate.<\/p><p>\u201cHe\u2019s got to do some convincing \u2014 but also, you know, the state of the world might just do that convincing as well,\u201d Alexander said.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=2825\">Treasury Doubles Down on Its Plan to Stabilize Financial Markets<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Republican has been trying to poach Jewish voters who are hesitant to support Democrat Abdul El-Sayed, but local leaders say they don\u2019t see the pitch sticking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2830,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[50],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2833","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-michigan"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
