Jack Brewer Calls El-Sayed's Michigan Win a Warning Shot as Tafoya Takes Minnesota GOP Primary at 52%

Summary
Jack Brewer cast Abdul El-Sayed’s Michigan Democratic Senate primary win as a national alarm, saying the progressive candidate’s rise showed “radical leftists” gaining power despite Donald Trump’s election victory.
El-Sayed, a physician and former Detroit public health director, narrowly beat Haley Stevens and now faces Republican Mike Rogers in November after running on Medicare for All, taxing billionaire wealth and ending unconditional U.S. military aid to Israel.
Brewer paired that warning with praise for Michele Tafoya, arguing the former NFL sideline reporter could attract Democrats and independents in Minnesota even though Republicans have not won a statewide race there since 2006.
Tafoya won Minnesota’s Republican Senate primary with 52.07% of the vote, ahead of Adam Schwarze at 23.96% and Royce White at 11.15%, and will face Democratic Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan in November.
Brewer, now a Trump-aligned conservative leader, also backed White’s challenge to WNBA transgender eligibility rules and urged Minnesota voters to reject what he called the state’s current “woke left” leadership.
