Democrats urge El-Sayed adopt moderate views to save Senate seat
Fox News’ Mark Meredith breaks down calls for Michigan Senate candidate Abdul el-Sayed to go moderate as midterms loom. Fox News contributor Marc Thiessen joins ‘America Reports’ to analyze House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’s distancing from DSA.
As millions of Americans were enjoying fireworks or gearing up for the fall football season, the campaign of the Democratic Senate candidate in Michigan was scrambling to cover up past statements denouncing both, this summer.
You read that right: the campaign of Abdul el-Sayed was caught red-handed by CNN erasing hot takes declaring that “fireworks suck” and linking football to slavery.
On one hand, you can’t blame him. El-Sayed is running for statewide office in Michigan. It voted for President Donald Trump twice in the last decade. Better to take the hit on the flip-flop and sell voters on his canned declaration about his love for “Michigan football on Saturdays” than defend the indefensible.

On the other, if character is what counts when no one is watching, el-Sayed has shown who he is. Voters should believe him.
