Hasan Piker on his endorsement of Abdul El-Sayed for U.S. Senate [36KyoKaxj78]
The race for the Democratic nomination in Michigan’s U.S. Senate race has been one of the most fascinating in the country. It drew national attention when controversial political commentator Hasan Piker rallied with Abdul El-Sayed on college campuses. Piker has millions of followers on social media, largely made up of people under the age of 30. The move was immediately met with condemnation from El-Sayed’s opponents – Congresswoman Haley Stevens, and State Senator Mallory McMorrow. Since then, El-Sayed has steadily risen in the polls. In a conversation this week, WDET’s Russ McNamara asked Piker what he seeks in an ideal candidate.
