Bernie Sanders rallied in Detroit and endorsed Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, who promoted Medicare-for-all and abolishing ICE. Sanders also voiced support for House candidate Donavan McKinney.
During his “Fighting Oligarchy” tour, Sanders rallied in Detroit with El-Sayed and McKinney. Sanders said the country needs leaders willing to challenge political and economic establishments and said El-Sayed was needed in the Senate. El-Sayed emphasized Medicare-for-all and abolishing ICE during the event.
El-Sayed is running in Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary; the article identifies Haley Stevens and Mallory McMorrow as other prominent contenders. It says Sanders previously endorsed El-Sayed in the 2018 Democratic gubernatorial primary, which El-Sayed lost to Gretchen Whitmer. McKinney, who supports the same two policies, is running in the Democratic primary for Michigan’s 13th Congressional District against incumbent Shri Thanedar. Sanders said he hoped McKinney would join progressive members of Congress.
