Hassan was born and raised in Flint. Military vet. Christian. Had the explicit backing of Trump and Mike Johnson. Lost to a guy named Tom Smith who barely campaigned. Raised all of $2k. Tried to drop out of race.

Polling shows it was due to Muslim thing. (Solely due to name)

Primaries don’t mean much. But we’ll see. Michigan is Michigan.

This Tom Smith/Amir Hassan thing makes me very skeptical about AES chances. Maybe I am wrong.** - By xcheck August 10, 2026 at 09:57:45 PM
- Hopefully the typical voter come November is far more informed (and far less racist) than the typical GOP primary voter in a district that Trump won easily last election* - By Credit August 11, 2026 at 01:12:24 AM
- If it was a POTUS year, he would have no chance. Think he is a slight favorite in a mid term in this environment. * - By BBA August 10, 2026 at 10:42:44 PM
  - El-Sayed's chance is to make the election a pure referendum on Trump. Stevens might have had a better shot at doing that - By brick August 10, 2026 at 11:04:07 PM
    - Haley Stevens was an exceptionally weak candidate* - By el fuego August 11, 2026 at 09:20:41 AM
      - If she was exceptionally weak, what is AES and Mallory McMorrow?* - By kccambo August 11, 2026 at 01:04:03 PM

  - in gop primary for a house seat, people picked the white guy name candidate who had dropped out of the race (Tom Smith) over the Trump backed guy with a muslim sounding name (Hassan) - By DetUMICH August 10, 2026 at 10:38:37 PM

- It makes me uneasy. A lot of people went fucking nuts about Muslims in the post-9/11 period. It's quieter now, but not gone * - By Bluebuck August 10, 2026 at 10:10:52 PM
  - we are so fucked we live in a nation of bigoted idiots. nm - By sim August 10, 2026 at 10:44:21 PM
