Progressive Abdul Elsied defeated
0:02
Congresswoman Haley Stevens in a chaotic
0:04
end to a race that has already been
0:06
quite contentious. Now, first things
0:08
first, what Elsad accomplished was
0:11
historic. He's the first Muslim Democrat
0:13
to be nominated for a Senate seat. And
0:16
also, he defeated a challenger that was
0:18
backed by a tons of members of the
0:20
establishment and a ton of outside
0:22
money. Plus, what Elsa's strategy was
0:25
was unique. He flipped the attacks
0:28
against him and ran explicitly against
0:30
Democratic leadership and outside money
0:33
like Apad. Here's what he told me in our
0:35
interview. It might be that the question
0:37
Michiganders are asking is who poses the
0:41
biggest push back to a system of
0:43
politics that has been bought off in
0:45
ways that leave me unable to afford my
0:47
groceries, un able to afford a home,
0:49
unable to look at my kids' school and
0:50
believe that that's a good place for
0:51
them, unable to get healthcare when I
0:53
need it, and then sending my money
0:55
abroad telling me that somehow that's in
0:56
my best interest. If we want to be the
0:58
party of working people, we have to be
0:59
the party for working people, which
1:01
means that we've got to stop taking
1:02
money from the people who are nickel and
1:03
dimming them. But while Elsa's victory
1:05
is a huge win for the left, there are
1:08
also some warning signs in his primary
1:10
win. He ran far behind some of his
1:12
polling numbers and showed some
1:14
weaknesses with rural voters and some
1:16
black voters. He's going to have to
1:18
improve on that if he wants to defeat
1:19
Republican Mike Rogers in November,
1:21
which is critical for the Democrats
1:23
chances of controlling the House. It's
1:25
going to be a different election, though
1:27
come the midterms. This was a referendum
1:29
on the left and what's happening among
1:31
Democrats. November will be all about
1:33
Trump.
