What to know about Abdul El-Sayed

A candidate you’ll be hearing a lot about is Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee to fill an open Senate seat in Michigan.

He is a sharp-talking liberal with ties to a very controversial figure. He could be America’s first Muslim senator. He’s a lightning rod for Republican attacks. And not all Democrats are onboard for him in what looks like a close race that could make or break whether the party retakes the Senate from Republicans in November.
