Abdul El-Sayed is offering Donald Trump something usually absent from a Democratic healthcare pitch: a place for the president's name.

Speaking with Kaitlan Collins on CNN's The Source, the Michigan senator-elect proposed calling Medicare-for-All "Trumpcare-for-All" if that would help secure Trump's signature. "Donald, if you're watching, we can put your name on it," El-Sayed said.

Collins questioned whether he was serious. His answer was that the name mattered less than delivering healthcare without premiums, copays or deductibles. He also suggested Democrats could support the plan if Trump agreed to sign it. This was an invitation to the president, not an announcement of an agreement.

ETimes' recap of the exchange drew about 174,000 views in its first 16 hours, far beyond the clips channel's usual opening for a regular video. The upload combines reporting about the CNN conversation with archival footage and an extended section of El-Sayed's Senate victory speech; it is not the uninterrupted interview.

That speech takes over less than four minutes in. El-Sayed addresses JD Vance about swearing him into the Senate, then answers Trump's attempts to pronounce his name with a simpler alternative: "You can just go on to call me Senator." He later turns to the union workers, mothers seeking healthcare and small-business owners he describes as the people behind his campaign.
