EXCERPT:
Former Obama adviser David Axelrod believes Wisconsin Democratic gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong losing her primary would be good for Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul el Sayed, denying Republicans an opportunity to tie the two progressive candidates together.
“It would be good for @AbdulElSayed if Francesca Hong loses her bid to become the Democratic nominee in Wisconsin next week,” Axelrod wrote in a post on X. “He is a serious person. She is a font of zany liberal, faculty lounge exotica.”
Axelrod argued that if Hong captures the Democratic nomination, Republicans would attempt to paint el Sayed and the Wisconsin Democrat as ideological allies while seeking to shift attention away from President Donald Trump.
“But the Rs, hoping to deflect attention from an unpopular @POTUS who hangs from them like an anchor, would surely try and link Abdul and Hong as philosophical kin,” he added.
