Much has already been said about Abdul El-Sayed's black voter problem in Michigan. It is certainly real.
It first became apparent during the Democrat Senate primary but it has continued to dog El-Sayed in the months that followed.
For whatever reasons, the black community is just not down with the idea of voting for El-Sayed, and it's definitely hurting his campaign.
On the flip side, many of these voters seem to genuinely like Republican Mike Rogers.
Here is another example. Via Overton News:
Democrat Abdul El-Sayed's campaign message is NOT resonating with black voters in Detroit.
El-Sayed is banking on that voting block in Michigan, but from what these voters are saying on the ground, that's far from guaranteed.
One voter even admitted he's a lifelong Democrat who's crossing party lines to vote for Republican Mike Rogers.
VOTER: "It's a first time thing because I've been Democrat forever. So yeah, I'm switching Republican now."
Keep in mind, black voters in Detroit REJECTED El-Sayed during the Democrat primary — he received just 31% of the vote against Haley Stevens.
He lost Detroit outright to Stevens by 28 points.
If Rogers can secure even a portion of that vote, it could spell MAJOR trouble for El-Sayed next week.

This is exactly why the Democrats sent Obama to Michigan. Not that it helped much.
Obama heads to Michigan Saturday to rally with Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed in a key battleground race.

Fox News Digital spoke with Black voters in Detroit and found mixed reactions to Obama's endorsement, including skepticism from some undecided voters.

This will be one of the most closely watched races on election night, that's for sure.
