El-Sayed’s Coalition Is More Highly Educated and White Than He Lets On

Detroit — Throughout Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign, he repeated these three taglines: “Medicare for all,” “Money out of politics,” and “Money in your pocket.” He claimed to be a champion for the working man, but the results of last night’s Democratic primary election for the Senate show that his opponent, Congresswoman Haley Stevens, outperformed him with the very demographic he so vocally claimed to represent.

This morning, after a much tighter race than pollsters had anticipated, the election was called for El-Sayed.
