Video Description

Michigan’s Progressive US Senate Candidate Abdul El-Sayed has a plan to win back Michigan’s Arab American voters, after Democrats lost them in record numbers during last year’s election. In this ‘Mehdi Unfiltered’ interview, the Bernie-backed candidate tells Mehdi why he believes he is the “only” Democrat who can win Michigan’s US Senate seat in next year’s midterms and what it will take to win back those who abandoned Democrats last year due to the party’s support for Israel’s war in Gaza. Mehdi and El-Sayed cover a wide range of issues in their discussion, including whether El-Sayed is worried about AIPAC targeting him, the Democrats’ failure to have a full reckoning over Gaza’s role during last year’s election and El-Sayed’s “Medicare for All” campaign. *This interview was published over a week ago on zeteo.com.
