Detroit News: El-Sayed endorses 'consistent' Sanders for president
Abdul El-Sayed, the upstart Democrat who ran to the left of Gretchen Whitmer in Michigan's 2018 gubernatorial primary, is endorsing Vermont U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders to be the country's next president.
In an interview, El-Sayed said he decided to formally back Sanders for the Democratic presidential nomination because Sanders has been "consistent" on key issues and because of the way he's driven conversations on corruption, economic justice and initiatives like Medicare for All.
"All of those conversations we're having because of Bernie Sanders," El-Sayed said, "because of his courage in 2016, because of his courage in 2020."
