You know things are bad for a Democrat when a liberal newspaper endorses the Republican candidate and that’s what just happened in Michigan.
The Detroit News has endorsed Republican Mike Rogers over Abdul El-Sayed in the race for U.S. Senate.
That sound you hear in the distance is Democrats in Washington, DC losing their minds.
Breitbart News reports:
Detroit News Endorses Mike Rogers as ‘Clearly the Best Choice’ for U.S. Senate in Michigan
The Detroit News endorsed Republican Mike Rogers in Michigan’s U.S. Senate race on Wednesday, pointing to his experience in Congress, the military, and the FBI.
“Mike Rogers is clearly the best choice for Michigan’s U.S. Senate seat and gets our endorsement.”
The newspaper’s editorial board described Rogers as well prepared for the Senate after serving 14 years in the House, including a stint as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.
Rogers, 63, left Congress in 2015 after representing a mid-Michigan district for seven terms. He later worked in the private sector, focusing on cybersecurity. He previously served as an Army officer and an FBI agent investigating organized crime.
The editorial argued that Rogers’s background and temperament could help him quickly become an influential member of the Senate.
The newspaper was critical of his Democrat opponent, Abdul El-Sayed, saying he lacks the government and policymaking experience needed for the job.
Does anyone remember the last time this happened?

🚨 BOOM! Democrats are STUNNED after the Detroit News just formally endorsed Mike Rogers (R) for the U.S. Senate race in Michigan over Abdul El Sayed (D)
They did NOT expect that 🔥
It looks like Abdul’s Islamist and socialist ways are catching up with him.

The Abdul El-Sayed campaign has got to be in a panic about this.
Newspaper endorsements are rarely newsworthy because they always endorse Democrats. Not this time.
