Abdul El-Sayed wins Michigan's Dem Senate primary without corporate cash

Original version ·

An epidemiologist who rejects corporate lobbyist money just won Michigan's Democratic Senate primary.

Abdul El-Sayed isn't your average political candidate. He's an epidemiologist who refuses to take corporate PAC money and insists on pushing Medicare for All.

He just defeated Representative Haley Stevens in the primary. Her supporters had been arguing all along that a moderate candidate was the only safe bet to actually win in the general election this fall.

He pulled off the primary win while actively turning down corporate funding and demanding universal healthcare.

Party strategists love playing it safe right up until voters decide they would rather try something bold.
