Traditionally Democratic Jewish voters in Detroit are telling the Daily Mail they are switching their support to Republicans in this year's midterms.
Voter Shlomi Bennett said Tuesday morning that he is voting for Republican Mike Rogers because he holds 'serious concerns' about Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed's 'response to antisemitism.'
asserted
he → take → antisemitism
'I'm particularly troubled by what I see as his failure to clearly condemn ads that Jewish voters have called antisemitic, and his associations with controversial figures such as Hasan Piker and Tucker Carlson,' Bennett said.
asserted
Bennett → trouble → Piker
Bennett had voted for Haley Stevens in the Democratic primary over El-Sayed, and he said Stevens' surprise endorsement of Rogers on Sunday was indicative of 'a serious divide' in American politics.

Stevens had repeatedly called out El-Sayed over his comments about Israel and his association with controversial streamer Hasan Piker, demanding that El-Sayed apologize for remarks she said unfairly blamed Jewish Americans for America's problems.
She also urged him to clearly reject Piker's rhetoric, describing it as deeply disturbing.
asserted
She → call → it
Following the backlash, El-Sayed issued a statement insisting he was committed to protecting Jewish Americans, declaring that his commitment to their safety was equal to that of his own daughters.
