Rogers sharply criticizes El-Sayed, labeling him an extremist and socialist whose policies would harm communities and the state&#8217;s affordability. Rogers emphasizes his background as a U.S. Army veteran and FBI agent, contrasting his experience with El-Sayed\u2019s positions.<\/p>\n<p>Rogers claims El-Sayed supports policies like releasing prisoners, backing the Muslim Brotherhood, and associating with individuals who condone terrorism. He also criticizes El-sayed&#8217;s stance on Israel, suggesting he questions Israel\u2019s right to exist and supports an arms embargo, amid allegations that El-Sayed campaign with individuals who have expressed pro-Palestinian views.<\/p>\n<p>El-Sayed, who immigrated from Egypt, advocates for progressive policies such as abolishing ICE, passing Medicare for All, raising taxes on the wealthy, and reforming the supreme Court. He also criticizes U.S. foreign policy regarding Israel, supporting an arms embargo and questioning Israel\u2019s right to exist, shifting the focus to the use of U.S. tax dollars.<\/p>\n<p>President Trump comments on the primary results,expressing confidence that Rogers will beat El-Sayed,whom he disparages as a &#8220;Communist&#8221; and critics accuse of anti-Semitic sentiments. Polls show Rogers leading or tied in the race, though some suggest El-Sayed had previously been favored.

Meanwhile, El-Sayed\u2019s platform includes opposing voter ID laws like the SAVE America Act, abolishing ICE, passing Medicare for All, raising taxes on those earning over $1 million, and increasing inheritance taxes for estates over $1 million. He also criticizes the Supreme Court for limiting voting rights and civil liberties while expanding Trump\u2019s influence; he advocates reform such as ending lifetime appointments and imposing term limits.<\/p>\n<p>On foreign policy, El-Sayed has called for an immediate arms embargo on Israel amid accusations that U.S.-made weapons are used in Gaza conflicts and settlements. When asked if Israel should exist at all during a CNN interview last month, he refused to answer directly but shifted focus to whether Israel has a right to U.S. tax dollars instead.<\/p>\n<p>President Trump commented that El-Sayed\u2019s primary victory favors Rogers\u2019 chances in November-calling him a \u201cCommunist loser\u201d who hates Jews and Israel-and suggested election fraud might be involved due to mail-in ballots. Polls show Rogers leading by 3 points or tied; however, recent Democratic primaries saw El-Sayed win narrowly despite being favored in polls beforehand.<\/p>\n<p>Choose The Western Journal as your trusted source for truthful reporting defending freedom and Western values<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2641168,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Ben-Working-Feature-Image-2026-08-05T165841.478.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[3728,6203,37696,3740],"class_list":["post-2641167","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-election","tag-gop","tag-mike-rogers","tag-senate"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Ben-Working-Feature-Image-2026-08-05T165841.478.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2641167","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2641167"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2641167\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2641175,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2641167\/revisions\/2641175"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2641168"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2641167"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2641167"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2641167"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
