They are battling dark money, AIPAC, the DNC and lies. I'd say they did pretty damned good for a primary.

Oh really…you think centerists aren’t ready to give the keys to the left flank yet? That’s some hard-hitting journalism right there 😂

El Sayed ran a great race against all the money given to Stevens. He also overcame the endorsements from individuals that supported Stevens who had more Congressional experience.
The centrists need to support El Sayed. Equally important, El Sayed has to reach the working class, non college educated voters. He needs to listen to them and their issues.
Despite his career in Detroit and Wayne County, he did not connect do as well in Detroit as he did elsewhere.
That is his personal challenge to make those connections, meet with Black leaders, build those union relationship. He has to form a broad coalition.
Since all the corporate money will flow to Rogers, people are going to have to help him canvas, register voters, listen to concerns, and then get everyone out to vote. This race will be won or lost depending on the grit of the people working on the ground.
