The ‘Mamdani Wave’ Spreads Across the US With Abdul El-Sayed, Who Aspires to be the First Muslim Senator
The victory in the Democratic primaries of this doctor critical of Israel shows the strength of the progressive sector. The question is whether he can win the elections in a centrist state like Michigan.
It's worth memorizing the name Abdul El-Sayed. This 41-year-old doctor, the son of Egyptian immigrants, has just achieved a very significant victory that not long ago nobody bet on and that promises to have profound consequences for the future of the Democratic Party. The wave of progressive candidates in the wake of Zohran Mamdani in New York, committed to issues such as the difficulties of the working class in a country with skyrocketing prices and the denunciation of Israeli massacres in Gaza, has now reached Michigan, one of those centrist states where it is decided who will be the next president of the United States.
