BREAKING: El-Sayed RESPONDS to Stevens’ SHOCK Rogers endorsement. “I don’t think” about her
Things we can learn from the video
Press to jump
- 1:43El-Sayed argues for directing tax dollars toward domestic healthcare, infrastructure and education rather than foreign wars.
- 4:26He urges reporters to focus questions on Michigan residents' everyday financial struggles.
- 5:35He explains the early-voting push and the role of "Souls to the Polls" before Election Day.
- 6:20Asked whether Stevens betrayed the party, he says he does not think about her and returns to policy.
- 8:14Repeated endorsement questions bring another appeal to focus on food and healthcare costs.
Outside a Detroit church, Abdul El-Sayed asks reporters to look beyond the endorsement dominating questions about his Senate campaign. He also has a more immediate message for supporters: take part in early voting before Election Day.
MS NOW's footage shows the Democratic nominee alongside Representative Jim Clyburn and faith leaders after Haley Stevens, his former Democratic primary opponent, endorsed Republican Mike Rogers. Unlike the network's separate commentary on that decision, this segment gives El-Sayed's own extended response, including his policy priorities and the church-linked "Souls to the Polls" voting push.
The answer highlighted in the video's title comes more than six minutes into the remarks. Asked whether Stevens has betrayed the party, El-Sayed says: "At the end of the day, I actually don't think about Haley Stevens."
Before that exchange, he argues for spending tax dollars on healthcare, infrastructure and education at home rather than foreign wars. He explicitly backs Medicare for All and urges journalists to ask about the material pressures facing Michigan residents.
Reporters return to Stevens and endorsements, but El-Sayed continues directing his answers toward families struggling to afford food and healthcare. The segment captures his effort to make those issues, rather than his former opponent's decision, the subject of the closing campaign conversation.
The upload drew about 794,000 views since yesterday, making it MS NOW's most-watched new video over that period.
