Exclusive Interview With Dr. Abdul El-Sayed

I got a chance to sit down with the most progressive candidate for Michigan's open Senate seat

2026 is around the corner, and if you’ve been following me awhile, you’ll know I’ve been pushing for action NOW to elect real progressives across the country. In Michigan, we have a chance to send Dr. Abdul El-Sayed to the Senate.

Abdul came on my radar in 2018 when he ran in the gubernatorial primary, ultimately losing the nomination to Gretchen Whitmer. Despite this, he has continued to work in Michigan politics, champion progressive policy, and advocate for Medicare for All.

This interview was recording in July 2024 as Congress debated the Big Beautiful Budget. Thanks to the holidays, I’ve finally gotten a chance to get it edited.

Whether you’re in Michigan or not, you can help support Abdul El Sayed for Senate!

And as always, stay tuned with me as I highlight the progressive candidates that need your help to win in 2026!
