Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for Senate in Michigan, confirmed yesterday that he spoke to Barack Obama following his primary victory last week and said he hopes the former president will join him on the campaign trail this fall.
“It was a really warm and inspiring conversation,” El-Sayed told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” about his call with Obama.
“I was grateful for his advice,” he added. “It was very warm, very inviting, and I know that he knows the critical role that Michigan is going to play in holding [President Donald] Trump accountable, in winning back the Senate, and in building forward the future that we need.”
