We speak with Dr. Abdul El-Sayed after his victory in Michigan's primary race for U.S. Senate sent shockwaves through the Democratic Party. El-Sayed, a former public health official, ran a progressive campaign focused on affordability, Medicare for All, getting money out of politics, and opposing Israel's genocide in Gaza. He defeated Congressmember Haley Stevens, who was backed by tens of millions in outside spending including by AIPAC, the powerful pro-Israel lobby group.
"In an era where many of us can't afford basic things like groceries or rent or healthcare, the idea that your government is sending your tax dollars to buy bombs and tanks for foreign governments seems anathema," El-Sayed says. "That money could be spent to fix your potholes, rebuild your kid's school."
El-Sayed says his focus now is on beating Republican nominee Mike Rogers, whom he calls a "bootlicker for Trumpism," and to present a positive vision for his party that can lead into the next Democratic presidential administration.
