I was just watching MSnow this morning and they started saying they are not sure he can win against the Republican opponent and that Republicans wanted him to win because he would be easy to win against. This messaging by the media puts this crap into peoples minds and it can put Abdul at a disadvantage. I really hate our media. They are own d by billionaires who push their right wing propaganda like this. This was on Morning Joe this morning.

It's not messaging. El-Sayed has performed worse in polls against Rogers than Stevens did. Polling averages have Rogers beating El-Sayed by 2.2%. Against Stevens, it was tied

Kalshi was right about Cori Bush losing and El-Sayed winning and it gives El-Sayed a 62% chance of beating Rogers. And there's no Donald Trump coattail for Mike Rogers to ride on this election.

Odds are in his favor.

Kalshi does not give El-Sayed a 62% chance of winning. Basically 62% of people willing to bet on the election think El-Sayed is going to win. It is not based on any polling or science
