Despite conventional expectations, some large Jewish Democratic donors are now supporting Republican candidate Mike Rogers after Democrat Abdul El-Sayed&#8217;s narrow victory in the primary.El-sayed,backed by high-profile Democrats like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders,is viewed by some Republicans as a socialist and a threat to traditional Democratic values. President Donald Trump expressed strong support for Rogers, criticizing El-Sayed and suggesting that socialist candidates like him energize the GOP. The piece also notes that progressive candidates are gaining ground in various states,challenging the Democratic establishment,and that some dissident conservatives and media personalities are increasingly splitting from Trump and the GOP establishment. the article suggests that these developments could reshape electoral dynamics, with some Democrats and Republicans perceiving the rise of socialism and internal party conflicts as beneficial for the GOP.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Republicans suddenly love their chances to flip a Michigan Senate seat in the 2026 midterm elections.<\/p>\n<p>An honest survey of the political landscape, however, should inspire more caution.<\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, Matthew Kassel of the Jewish Insider reported Wednesday morning on the social media platform X that \u201cseveral large Jewish Dem donors\u201d will throw their support behind Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers in the wake of Tuesday\u2019s Democratic primary victory by far-left candidate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/muslim-leftist-el-sayed-declares-winner-key-michigan-senate-primary-despite-votes-still-outstanding\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Abdul El-Sayed<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA Democratic fundraiser in Michigan tells me it is \u2018absolutely certain\u2019 that \u2018several large Jewish Dem donors\u2019 will be backing Rogers. \u2018I would guarantee there will be fundraisers for him hosted by high-profile Jewish Dems,&#8217;\u201d Kassel wrote.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">A Democratic fundraiser in Michigan tells me it is \u201cabsolutely certain\u201d that \u201cseveral large Jewish Dem donors\u201d will be backing Rogers. \u201cI would guarantee there will be fundraisers for him hosted by high-profile Jewish Dems\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/gsy57VILk2\">https:\/\/t.co\/gsy57VILk2<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Matthew Kassel (@matthewkassel) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/matthewkassel\/status\/2085000588924756103?\">August 5, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>El-Sayed had the backing of Democratic Rep.

Trump clearly believes that.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, Republicans generally view the progressive and socialist insurgency within the Democratic Party as a boon to the GOP.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, when three socialist candidates endorsed by Democratic Mayor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/socialists-plot-2028-white-house-run-trio-big-victories-even-causes-constitutional-crisis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zohran Mamdani<\/a> of New York City swept their House primaries in June, congressional Republicans did not fret.

In fact, some of us are old enough to remember 2024, when the House Armed Services Committee chairman was widely regarded as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/several-big-name-rinos-target-house-freedom-caucus-chairman-ousting-kevin-mccarthy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">deep-state tool<\/a> who worked alongside other RINOs to frustrate the noble efforts of the House Freedom Caucus.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, the progressive\/socialist momentum feels real. It has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/spreading-democratic-socialist-sends-dems-panic-unseating-15-term-colorado-congresswoman\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">spread<\/a> to states beyond New York and heavily Muslim Michigan.

Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, and Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky. Those individuals, and others, have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trumps-patience-finally-wears-blasts-nut-jobs-low-iq-tucker-carlson-candace-owens-megyn-kelly\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">split with Trump<\/a> and the GOP over multiple issues, including the Iran War.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, leftist podcaster <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/former-bernie-spokeswoman-says-many-dems-happily-vote-tucker-carlson-aoc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Briahna Joy Gray<\/a> predicted in May that many leftists would support Carlson over Ocasio-Cortez.<\/p>\n<p>Would members of the dissident right either refrain from voting or perhaps even support El-Sayed over Rogers?<\/p>\n<p>Either way, those \u201clarge Jewish Dem donors\u201d have the right idea in not taking any chances if they hope to prevent the progressive upstart\u2019s election in November.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #171717; display: flex;font-size: 16px;font-weight: 600;line-height: 1.5;margin: 24px 0;padding: 18px 20px 18px 30px;text-align: left;\">\n<div style=\"align-self: stretch;border-left: 3px solid #171717;flex-shrink: 0;padding-left: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/\">Choose The Western Journal as your preferred source on Google and never miss reporting that defends truth, protects freedom, and advances Western civilization<\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"border: 1px solid #f5f5f5; padding: 16px;\">Advertise with The Western Journal and reach millions of highly engaged readers, while supporting our work. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/advertise-us\/?wj_source=article\">Advertise Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey == typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts = { \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs = [ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
