Obama jokes about El-Sayed's 'big guns' as he rallies Detroit
Former president Barack Obama joined Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed at a rally in Detroit, where he joked about the candidate's muscular arms. Obama said the two men share a campaign focus on change and breaking boundaries, and that both have faced racism and questions about their names. Obama also dismissed claims that El-Sayed is radical, asking how wanting universal health care and affordable housing could be considered so. El-Sayed leads recent polls only within the margin of error, and he won just 31 per cent of Black primary voters in Detroit.
