After winning Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary, Abdul El-Sayed responded to Donald Trump’s “two VERY DIFFERENT America’s” post by contrasting their visions and emphasizing affordability. The primary win sets up a general-election contest with Republican Mike Rogers.
Trump shared a social-media image contrasting himself and Melania Trump with El-Sayed and his wife. El-Sayed agreed that they represented different visions of America, criticizing Trump over affordability and his personal wealth. He also responded to Trump calling him a communist and using an expletive by making a jab of his own.
El-Sayed won the Democratic primary and will face Republican Mike Rogers in November; the article says his victory is seen as important to Democrats’ hopes of regaining Senate control. El-Sayed described himself as a capitalist who wants capitalism to work better and cited healthcare, clean air and water, and election integrity among his priorities. The article also reports that Barack Obama spoke with El-Sayed after the primary and called Haley Stevens, whom El-Sayed defeated.
