Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced her endorsement of Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed on Thursday, marking a significant shift in stance after she had publicly criticized him earlier this year.
The political alliance comes just weeks after Nessel expressed displeasure with El-Sayed’s reaction to a March attack on a synagogue in Michigan. Despite that prior friction, Nessel highlighted El-Sayed’s commitment to opposing the Trump administration as a key factor in her decision.
“We have one candidate that I know is going to fight against the Trump administration, is going to fight to protect…” Nessel stated, emphasizing the priority of resisting federal policies under the current presidency.
The endorsement solidifies support from a prominent statewide official for El-Sayed’s campaign, potentially bolstering his prospects in the upcoming election cycle.
Does this actually change the math in the Senate race, or is it just symbolic support?
Wait, she criticized him over the synagogue attack just months ago? I hope he learns from that feedback.
Good to see them put aside past differences for the greater good against Trump. Unity matters right now.
