Abdul El-Sayed has become the Democratic nominee for Michigan’s U.S. Senate race and is now heading into the general election against Republican Mike Rogers. His campaign is drawing heavy attention, including attacks from Donald Trump and other Republicans, as well as scrutiny over deleted YouTube videos from his past. El-Sayed has pushed back on the criticism, saying the attacks reflect fear and political weakness, and he has also said he spoke with Barack Obama and hopes for his support.
