Trump Blasts Democratic Nominee for Senate Dr. Abdul El-Sayed

In a major blow to the Democratic establishment, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed has won the Democratic Senate primary in Michigan despite being vastly outspent by his opponent, Congresswoman Haley Stevens. Abdul El-Sayed campaigned on a platform calling for Medicare for All, ending military aid to Israel and getting money out of politics. Abdul El-Sayed spoke in Detroit Wednesday morning after the Associated Press and CNN called the race. He challenged his Republican opponent Mike Rogers to a series of five debates. Dr. Abdul El-Sayed: “Mike Rogers is a guy who has never shied away from a corporation he could do a favor for. Mike Rogers is a guy who, believe it or not, went back to Florida so he could lick every single boot Donald Trump owns to beg for his endorsement. I’m so sorry. If you want a senator who’s going to lick some boots, fine, go vote for Mike Rogers. But if you want a senator who’s going to stand up to Donald Trump, then you’ve got your option right here.” During a speech on Wednesday, President Trump attacked Abdul El-Sayed, saying, “When I watch Abdul He’s full of s—” — using the four letter word.
