Abdul el Sayed supported strict COVID-19 lockdowns and school closures

Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Dr. Abdul el Sayed previously supported strict COVID-19 lockdowns and statewide school closures six years ago. Despite these left-wing public health positions, el Sayed won his state's Democratic primary on August 4. Following this victory, he engaged in a phone call with former President Obama. This conversation focused on discussing unity as el Sayed attempts to win over wary Democrats within the high-stakes Michigan Senate race to secure broader party support.
