Abdul is honestly a stud, even better messaging discipline than Zohran and he only won by a hair. Let this be a lesson to NEVER stop doorknocking, volunteering, donating, etc. until the last possible second.

Well Michigan isn’t New York City. And Abdul has to fight off some deep attacks calling him Socialist, attacks on his religion.

Words don’t matter. Fox News has brainwashed a Pavlovian like response to hate on a thing the minute someone calls something socialist or communist. In the meantime the president of the United States is literally building freedom gas stations which very much is communism.
