Summary
Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed has attended and spoken at multiple events hosted by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) between 2017 and 2020, despite claiming he is not a socialist. El-Sayed has distanced himself from the DSA in interviews, stating he believes in capitalism but thinks it needs regulation. The DSA has described El-Sayed as a “longtime friend” and he has been endorsed by Sen. Bernie Sanders. El-Sayed’s relationship with the DSA has raised questions about his attempts to appeal to Michigan’s relatively evenly split electorate.
Our Reading
Once again, the discussion returns to a familiar question.
Abdul El-Sayed attends DSA events, smiles next to Rep. Rashida Tlaib, and is described as a “longtime friend” of the organization. He distances himself from the DSA in interviews, citing his belief in capitalism. The DSA endorses him, and Sen. Bernie Sanders supports his campaign. El-Sayed’s tax returns show he and his wife earned over $686,000 in 2025. He collects luxury watches. The performance of distinction between socialism and capitalism continues.
