Hugh Hewitt Warns El-Sayed Could Replay 400-Officer Senate Blockade Against Israel Aid

Summary
Hugh Hewitt argued Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed could use Senate procedural holds to disrupt U.S. military operations and Israel aid if elected this fall.
The warning leans on Tommy Tuberville’s 2023 blockade, which delayed more than 400 senior military promotions for about 10 months and, Hewitt said, showed how much damage one senator can inflict.
El-Sayed has called for an immediate arms embargo on Israel and rejects separating offensive from defensive weapons, a position Hewitt said would also cover systems such as Iron Dome interceptors.
Michigan’s race against Republican Mike Rogers is therefore, in Hewitt’s framing, a national-security test because a determined senator may not halt all aid alone but can still force major delays and confrontations.
