Wisconsin prepares for primaries as Michigan's El-Sayed reacts to Trump's attacks

Wisconsin is preparing for another primary that may display the growing rift between Democrats and progressives. CBS News' Taurean Small reports.

Abdul El-Sayed, the US Senate candidate, defended his wife Sarah Jukaku in response to a controversial post by President Donald Trump. On Saturday, Trump juxtaposed images of himself with his wife Melania next to El-Sayed and his wife Dr. Sarah Jukaku, captioning the image "Two VERY DIFFERENT America’s." El-Sayed acknowledged Trump's point, stating, "Yeah, he’s right," when asked about the post on CNN.

He elaborated on the two different visions of America, saying one is characterized by two people who don't like each other, yet join interests for financial gain, while the other involves people who genuinely love each other and want to build a family in a united America. El-Sayed's defense comes after Trump and his team intensified their attacks on him, including using his full name and promoting Islamophobic rhetoric.
