El-Sayed says Harris' Michigan visit for his Senate race is about party unity
Michigan U.S. Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed says he wants Kamala Harris’ midterm campaign stop in Detroit to unify Democrats in the key swing state. Party factions were on full display in Michigan's hotly contested primary this year and in Harris’ 2024 presidential defeat. Harris' visit Tuesday includes a roundtable on Black maternal health and an event with the Detroit NAACP. The Senate race between El-Sayed and Republican Mike Rogers is crucial for Democrats.
El-Sayed acknowledges differences with Harris' previous support for U.S. military aid in Israel. El-Sayed has called Israel's actions in Gaza genocide, which Israel denies. But El-Sayed says he and Harris agree on much more. Rogers’ campaign says Harris’ visit shows weakness.
