Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez endorses Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan Democratic primary
The endorsement boosts El-Sayed in a three-way race as Democrats weigh which candidate can best hold a battleground Senate seat.
- On Thursday, New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez endorsed Abdul El-Sayed, a progressive Michigan Senate candidate, calling him the strongest candidate to keep the seat in November.
- Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer believes candidate Stevens has the 'best chance' to win, as some Democrats worry El-Sayed could lose in the swing state if he advances.
- El-Sayed has labeled Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a 'war criminal' and described Israel's military campaign in Gaza following Hamas' October 7 attacks as a 'genocide.'
- Ocasio-Cortez's endorsement stands out as she has been highly selective this cycle, unlike Sen. Bernie Sanders, who has embraced several progressive candidates nationwide.
- The Michigan Democratic Senate primary is scheduled for August 4, representing a critical race as the party aims to reclaim a congressional majority while defending a seat President Donald Trump won in 2024.
