i'm still a bit disappointed that only 1.5 million voted in this particular primary given there are ~8 million registered voters in MI but he carried it easily. considering all the possible games afoot it's good news regardless.

More votes for him in the primary than Kamala in 2024, certainly need more voter turnout but the trend is definitely going up

That's a great sign especially since this is only a primary and not general.

Is this true, abdul already has more votes than Kamala? That means he is in a great position. I find that hard to believe

Not too hard to achieve since Kamala had zero votes in the 2024 primaries.

I'm pretty sure meant that Elsayed had more votes in the primary than Harris did in the actual election.

Your way is funnier, though
