WATCH: El-Sayed introduces President Obama in Detroit. "When they tell me, 'but his name's Abdul, though,' I remind them his name was Barack." Obama walks out, hugs him, and calls him "your next senator." That is the whole race in 70 seconds.

wow -- a squirming Mike Rogers gets flustered as Kristen Welker points out that while he attacks El-Sayed over the Muslim Brotherhood, *Rogers himself* defended the Muslim Brotherhood during the same period of time that El-Sayed did!

Help get @abdulelsayed elected to the senate! Jewish safety depends on a real multiracial democracy—and Abdul is the one fighting to protect it. Get involved and help at abdulforsenate.com/vote go.abdulforsenate.com We know how much it matters to live in a country where our rights are protected, where the law applies equally to everyone, and where the majority can’t just decide that some people don’t deserve the same freedoms. The safety and freedom we’ve found in America didn’t happen by accident. They exist because of democracy. And protecting democracy means protecting Jewish safety, too. We know what happens when those protections start to break down. When courts are weakened, elections are undermined, and people lose equal protection under the law, minorities are often the first to pay the price. Jews have seen this throughout our history. It’s one of the reasons so many of our families sought refuge in democratic countries. That’s why I find it so alarming to see what’s happening right now. When masked government agents are taking people off the streets and citizens are being shot in public, we should all be worried about where things are headed. As Jews, we know that when a government starts targeting certain groups of people, no one should assume they’re safe from what comes next. Mike Rogers has chosen to align himself with a movement that is willing to attack our democracy. He stood with Trump and refused to accept the results of the 2020 election. And now we’re seeing what happens when a political movement treats the rights and dignity of certain people as disposable. For Jews, these things should set off alarm bells. Jewish safety is tied to the health of our democracy. We can’t protect one without protecting the other. And in this Senate race, Abdul is the candidate who understands that and is willing to fight for it. #abdulelsayed #democracy #jewish #midterms

@UAWOct 22
The UAW endorsed only one candidate in this race: Abdul El-Sayed. Our endorsement process is member driven. UAW members overwhelmingly chose to support Abdul because he's the ONLY candidate for U.S. Senate in Michigan that is aligned on our core issues -- and the only one that has ever showed up for UAW members when called on. Nobody else in this race can say that.
The UAW and I are aligned — Michigan’s manufacturing jobs should come BEFORE stockholder profits.

Mayor @ZohranKMamdani: We proudly boast 12,000 miles of sidewalks, 12,000 acres of green space in our parks, roughly 12,000 bodegas, and over 12,000 yellow taxis. In just the first six months of this year, City Hall has financed 12,000 affordable homes. Today, I'm so proud to be here in the Bronx to announce 10,000 new 2K seats. That is a commitment that will bring our total to 12,000. This truly historic announcement will save parents more than $25,000 per child.

Abdul is not new to my community, he is true to it. This is not an act; we do not get opportunities like this very often. The only thing Mike Rogers has to offer the Black community is more white supremacist policies & a devotion to the White Supremacist in Chief. That's it.
Tonight in Detroit, Jemele Hill asked Abdul El-Sayed a question from the community: "How does a Black policy agenda inform your work in the community as a doctor?"

I'm honored to earn the endorsement of Detroit City Council President James Tate. Councilman Tate is a giant in the community — a steadfast leader — and I'm proud to have his support in our movement to get money out of politics, put money in pockets, and pass Medicare for All.

Until Mike Rogers denounces the Aryan Brotherhood, KKK, and Trump I don’t want to hear anything.

Here at the Shrine of the Black Madonna, a historic Detroit church, for an Abdul El-Sayed event with the Black Slate, an endorsement organization made up of members of the church. Today’s event is a town hall where audience members can ask questions.

It’s always Black women who have to shoulder the largest bulk of the burden of fault and blame for the poor decisions of men.
She’s right, but people will stay mad because that’s what they do best. Reality check: VP’s have zero authority to overrule the President. They are an advisor, not the final decision-maker. People will still blame them anyway because nuance is dead.

Nice try. And by the way it’s the west side not “West Detroit.” But you’re a Florida man, so we don’t expect you to know that.

Met some friends across Michigan this past week: Port Huron: 1,300 Mt. Pleasant: 1,250 Cadillac: 800 Traverse City: 600 Hart: 500 Muskegon: 1,400 Ionia: 783 And there were hundreds of you that I met outside various events that the venues couldn't fit. Our momentum is inspiring. Let's go win on November 3rd.

So Zelensky took out a major Russian bot farm and social media traffic on X and other sites dropped by 50%. HALF of the traffic on social media is nothing but Russian propaganda bots and trolls. Things that make you go hmmmm.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

That’s rich coming from someone who wears his bed sheets out at night.
Sen. John Kennedy says that AIPAC is only spending on Mike Rogers behalf in Michigan because Abdul El-Sayed “sleeps in a Bin Laden jersey.” Abdul El-Sayed has never said anything in support of Osama Bin Laden. He’s just Muslim.
