El-Sayed grills reporter for asking about 'flip-flopping' on Harris
Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed grilled a reporter for saying some people might think he “flip-flopped” on his opinion about former Vice President Kamala Harris after the pair appeared together at a campaign event. In a press conference, a reporter mentioned to El-Sayed his previous endorsement of an “uncommitted vote” in the 2024 presidential primary...
Former US Vice President Kamala Harris returned to the campaign trail in Michigan to support leftist Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed. The visit aimed to help Democrats retain a crucial battleground seat as speculation continues about Harris' potential 2028 presidential run. El-Sayed, who would be the first Muslim in the Senate, faces Republican former Congressman Mike Rogers in a race for a seat vacated by a retiring Democrat.
A Republican victory could make it more difficult for Democrats to gain a Senate majority. Harris emphasized the importance of investing in health care during the roundtable discussion on Black maternal health, highlighting El-Sayed's personal commitment to maternal care after losing several family members at a young age. The visit also comes as El-Sayed seeks to unite Democrats following his victory in a primary against establishment-backed Representative Haley Stevens, while Harris faces scrutiny over her administration's support for Israel during the Gaza war.
The appearance is part of a broader effort to mobilize voters in Michigan, a state that plays a significant role in Democratic hopes for regaining control of the Senate in November.
