Pride cometh before the fall, but in defense of the vainglorious, there’s typically something to be proud of.

Not so in the case of Abdul El-Sayed, the Michigan Democrat running — in the telling of a new dispatch from CNN — one of the most arrogant campaigns in recent memory.

El-Sayed is calling his shot and prognosticating a seven-point victory over Republican Mike Rogers in the state’s US Senate race.

The picture being painted by insiders, however, is of a hypercompetitive contest with a number of outstanding questions that will ultimately decide it.

Chief among them: Has El-Sayed done enough to allay the concerns of the Democratic-leaning groups most skeptical of him?

Many of his peers have their doubts — and for good reason.

“Black and Jewish leaders are warning that they and many in their communities need more outreach,” reported CNN.

Boy, do they have the stories to prove it.

In all-important Detroit, where El-Sayed must run up the score to beat Rogers, he gave one black community leader the impression that he thinks “they don’t necessarily need to work as hard to get the black vote,” then snubbed him on a roundtable event they had promised to include him in.

The spurned activist subsequently met with Rogers’ campaign, then “felt bad” and texted El-Sayed.

He never got a response.

“F–k him,” the activist ended up concluding.

Prominent members of the Jewish community (surprise, surprise) have had a similarly dismal experience.

Andy Schor is the Democratic mayor of Lansing, the state capital and its sixth-largest city.

Election Day is less than a month away, and El-Sayed hasn’t so much as touched base with him.

“If he doesn’t need me, he doesn’t need me. And that’s their strategic decision,” mused Schor, who said he won’t vote for Rogers, but also can’t back El-Sayed before they have a conversation about the candidate’s attitude toward Jews and unhealthy obsession with the only nation in which they constitute a majority.

As for El-Sayed, though, he has every confidence in his outreach efforts.

“Every community that I’ve met with, I’ve said, ‘Leading for and with your community is a concern and a key consideration for me,’” he insisted.

“People deserve a US senator who’s going to show up and listen, but I’ve showed up and listened.”

More pride, and more talk.

Does he really believe that such an uninspiring, vacuous pledge will suffice?

Particularly when his actions tell an entirely different story?

That’s not where El-Sayed’s woes — or his ego — end, either.

CNN also revealed that he’s made a request of Hasan Piker, the antisemitic al-Qaeda apologist he bro’d out with on the campaign trail during the Democratic primary.

Apparently, the candidate called the streamer to tell him “his rhetoric was costing El-Sayed votes” and to ask him “to stop.”

What a sorry excuse for a Sister Souljah moment.

El-Sayed happily used Piker to rev up his Islamist-adjacent, anti-American base and has refused to disavow him, castigating his opponent and the press for even bringing up the scoundrel that he first introduced into the race.

Now, behind the scenes, he’s pleading with him to shut up.

Not because he’s revolted that Piker believes the United States had it coming on 9/11.

Not because he’s disgusted that Piker believes Zionist Jews bring acts of antisemitic hatred upon themselves.

And not because there’s any ideological daylight between the two: After all, El-Sayed is the guy who could only lament that “hurt people hurt people” after a terrorist rammed his truck into a synagogue intending to shoot up the more than 100 children and staff inside.

No, only because it might cost him votes.

The throughline in El-Sayed’s campaign is its principal’s immense self-regard.

Before primary night in August, he thought he’d trounce Rep. Haley Stevens by double digits.

His margin of victory was just 1%.

And his egotistical message for the divided party he’s supposed to be trying to unify now?

“I’m not the Democrat the Democrats want, but I am the Democrat that Democrats have. And I am decidedly not a Republican. But this is what I’ll tell you: I am a Democrat that Michiganders want.”

Well, voters will render their verdict on that pronouncement soon enough, and he’s overestimated their estimation of him before.
