El-Sayed claims his focus is on providing for Michigan rather than sending money abroad for ‘genocide and apartheid”. El-Sayed is running in the Democratic Primary for the Michigan Senate seat up for grabs at the November midterms. Progressive star Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) has already endorsed his nomination. He has been a longtime critic of Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
