Michigan Senate candidate El-Sayed faces backlash for Obama rally alliance

Abdul El-Sayed, a US Senate candidate in Michigan, is drawing criticism for appearing with former President Barack Obama at an upcoming Detroit rally, just weeks after similar backlash over campaigning with Kamala Harris. The criticism appears to stem from intra-party or progressive-base tensions, though the specific grounds are not detailed. This matters as it could affect Democratic turnout and intra-party dynamics ahead of the election.
