So many important races on the national level, and on the state level. But the most-watched race is the the Michigan U.S. Senate seat between progressive Democrat Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, and the MAGA Republican "Florida" Mike Rogers. LOL's Pat Johnston explains why Dr. Abdul's campaign to battle MAGA, Trump Regime, and Epstein Class bullies is exactly why he's on the cusp of pulling-off one of the most important victories of 2026.19:30-42:00: Dr. Rashida Harrison InterviewDemocratic candidate for Michigan's State Senate Seat #28, Dr. Rashida Harrison, talks with Pat about her run for that open seat in Lansing. Dr. Harrison shares her story, and how her life experiences helped shape her working class politics, and why she decided to run for the seat despite not being a lifelong politician. While there were other Democratic candidates with name recognition for that seat, Dr. Harrison won a resounding victory in the primary. And now, she's on the cusp of bringing a strong working class voice to Lansing, in which she'll make it her mission to bring a working economy for working people.https://secure.actblue.com/donate/rashida-harrison-1 Visit Dr. Rashida Harrison's campaign! https://www.rashidaharrisonforstatesenate.com/Visit Dr. Rashida Harrison on Facebook!42:01-55:55: Bob Thompson of MFU InterviewMichigan Farmers Union President Bob Thompson joins the show to talk about the MFU's decision to endorse Dr. Abdul El-Sayed for the United States Senate.

    Here's the Left of Lansing "Monday Musing" for October 26, 2026!

    While "Florida" Mike Rogers has a tough time answering whether or not a vote for him is a vote for the "Trump agenda," we can unequivocally say a vote for Rogers, John James, or ANY MAGA Michigan Republican in '26 is indeed a vote for a continuance of The Trump Regime's agenda.

    Whether it's data centers, the War on Iran, or the protecting of the billionaire Epstein Class, LOL's Pat Johnston shows how a vote for any and all MAGA Republicans is a vote in support of The Trump Regime.

    Here's the Left of Lansing "Monday Musing" for October 19, 2026!

    Former Michigan Democratic Party Chair Lon Johnson, and longtime state party fundraiser and Jewish communal leader David Kramer, co-wrote an op-ed in The Detroit News explaining why they're imploring voters to not vote for the working class progressive Democratic U.S. Senate candidate, Dr. Abul El-Sayed.

    They claim their main reason is that he's not forceful enough for his support for Israel's corrupt government, but the REAL reason is that candidates like Dr. Abdul threaten their longtime stranglehold of the Michigan Democratic Party.

    Not to mention how he's a threat to the constant revolving door of greed, corruption, and criminality of the billionaire Epstein Class.
