Our Reading
Once again, the discussion returns to a familiar question.
Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign is built around his medical credentials, but public records show he’s never held a medical license. He’s referred to himself as a physician on multiple occasions, despite this. His campaign spokesperson says his experience in medical school led him to public health and public service. Critics argue he’s overstated his medical experience. El-Sayed still refers to himself as a physician and epidemiologist on his LinkedIn bio.
It’s a familiar pattern: a politician’s credentials are scrutinized, and their campaign responds by reiterating their qualifications. But in this case, the discrepancy between El-Sayed’s claims and the public records has raised eyebrows.
