Replying to @AbdulElSayed
Abdul El-Sayed claimed that $70 million was spent in Michigan to defeat him. He said, “We proved that when money and truth compete, truth wins.”

It is my honor and privilege to be headed to the US Senate to serve the great state of Michigan.  Michigan, we did what they said couldn’t be done. We won. Together. Now the real work begins.

‘Tonight we can turn that inshallah into alhamdulillah’. Democrat Abdul El-Sayed gave an impassioned victory speech as he beat Republican Mike Rogers in the Michigan senate race.

Trump launched an unpopular and pointless war. Gas prices are too high. People can’t afford groceries. Trump abandoned the American First message. This is why Republicans are getting crushed. It’s very simple.

Trump has spent a decade purging conservatism—constitutional, economic, and even social (in the deepest sense of humility and respect for others)—from the Republican Party. We should take solace in this absolute defeat because it’s a real chance to rebuild American conservatism.

I wonder how long it will take democrat voters to realize this? For the most part, the republican voters, found out within 6 months, after their red wave. 🤔 Or will it be the hamster wheel continuing and spinning faster...
The Democrats are not the champions of the American people. And, it's completely obvious that the Republicans are not either. Neither party champions the interests of 90%+ of Americans. Both parties represent the political interests of billionaires, corporations, and foreigners. Currently, the American people are unrepresented at the national level of our political system. That's a problem.

BREAKING: As I predicted, Democrats now projected to win House AND Senate in a massive blue tsunami. Devastating repudiation of President Trump’s War on Iran and all the economic fallout.

This is ALL by design. Don’t you know? The party when heavily in power always veers hard left or hard right to POLARIZE the electorate in both directions. This eliminates the opportunity or hope for middle ground & common sense in governance. That’s not profitable, nor is it good for population control that elitist Banksters want. Through careful media programming, propaganda, & indoctrination, the electoral energy remains highly charged, divided & polarized. 50/50 split, almost evenly every time; exactly the way the elitists want it to be (always carefully measured according to who they select for political power). Anything in the middle would be too peaceful & grounded. Trump could have ended the war 6 months ago. If he would have, the conservative right would easily remain in power & it would also benefit the middle independents. But, that’s NOT the agenda, so they had to press on as hard right War Hawks they are. They create havoc in the markets to piss enough people off and make enough of them go broke. Enter the hard left: Social Democrats. Don’t think for a second that the U.S. & Iran have been enemies the entire time it’s been going on. It’s the opposite. Iran has been used as the trigger to stir the pot in the Middle East in redrawing boundaries & bargaining new deals. But, Trump made the war games go on for as long as they needed to effecting exactly this political outcome. It works in favor of Bankster elitists, not the people by keeping them so polarized through this type of division. It was all measured out beforehand. The people are all fighting each other by voting for these selected thugs, instead of looking 👀 directly at who the real cause of the trouble is. I see who they are. Do you? …Trump is the biggest gaslighter of them all

Trump asked Americans to vote like he was on the ballot, and we obliged.

The election is over. The market called it hours ago. Objectively, it's an undisputed Democrat "sweep" all the way across the board. The Republicans have lost control of both the House and Senate. Meanwhile, Texas' US Senate and Governor races are set to flip blue for the first time since 1988 and 1990, respectively. The defining issue for voters? Affordability. The ongoing energy crisis has further fueled the affordability crisis, renewed interest rate hikes, and accelerated the K-Shaped economy. US oil prices have now traded above $100/barrel for 46 days in 2026. Tonight marks a major shift in the American political landscape.
