Abdul El-Sayed Outlines Position on Transgender Locker Room Policies

He said the debate over transgender issues distracts from affordability and health care, and a New York Times/Siena poll showed him ahead 53% to 42%.

  • On Sunday, Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed sparked backlash during a 60 Minutes interview by dismissing concerns over transgender issues in schools, arguing children access such information via their phones anyway.
  • El-Sayed insisted the culture war was not a 'real issue' for voters, claiming 'I think we manufacture these social issues.' Republican Mike Rogers responded by accusing El-Sayed of supporting men in girls' locker rooms.
  • Democratic Representative Haley Stevens endorsed Rogers on Sunday at a Detroit church, telling Anderson Cooper, 'My mind is made up, I'm rock solid,' regarding her decision.
  • El-Sayed enters Tuesday's election leading Rogers 53 percent to 42 percent in a New York Times/Siena survey released Sunday, though CNN's polling average shows a tighter five-point margin.
  • Critics, including a foundation run by former Olympic cyclist Inga Thompson, condemned El-Sayed's comments as disregarding women's rights as voters across the USA prepare to cast ballots.
