Abdul El-Sayed Urges Democrats to Win Midterms by Large Margins

El-Sayed addressed his past criticism of Barack Obama as Obama prepared to campaign for him in Michigan. Center outlets mostly describe his explanation of those comments and his current relationship with Obama; one also reports his warning that Democrats need a large midterm win to deter election challenges.
