El-Sayed on Hasan Piker: "If folks want to make this about a streamer in California, they're welcome to do that"
Katy Tur said the media is not overstating concerns about Hasan Piker as Abdul El-Sayed tries to win a Senate race by 22,000 votes.
- On Friday, MS NOW host Katy Tur pressed Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed on his ties to Hasan Piker, questioning whether the association risks alienating Jewish voters in a tight state.
- Piker faced intense scrutiny after he suggested American Jews were "making antisemitism worse" by supporting Israel, fueling concerns that his past remarks could damage Democrats in Michigan.
- Tur noted that in 2024, Arab Americans staying home over Gaza war concerns arguably cost Kamala Harris the state of Michigan, where Elissa Slotkin won by only 22,000 votes.
- El-Sayed dismissed the controversy as a distraction, arguing that "six in 10 Americans don't know who he is" while refocusing on health care and affordability.
- Concerns from Jewish voters, including Attorney General Dana Nessel, persist as El-Sayed attempts to unify Democrats before the general election, with Piker's involvement remaining a potential liability.
