MI-SEN: Abdul El-Sayed is using the same advisers as Graham Platner.

[RandySF]

Meanwhile in Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed, a progressive who is endorsed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), has opened up a lead in the polls over Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.), who is backed by Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and viewed by party leaders in Washington as the better candidate in a general election.

Platner’s collapse in Maine could steer progressive donors to funnel their money to El-Sayed, who now emerges as the most prominent Senate candidate aligned with the democratic socialist movement.

El-Sayed has used the same political strategy firm, Fight Agency, as Platner and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D).

El-Sayed, a former public health director, says he is running against both parties and called for Platner to drop out of the Maine Senate race after his opponent, Stevens, criticized him for not doing so.
