Michigan students swarm Abdul El-Sayed for selfies on election day

Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed drew large crowds of students seeking selfies during a campus visit at the University of Michigan on midterm election day, with traffic temporarily halted. El-Sayed, a 42-year-old progressive Democrat, faced questions about Haley Stevens, who endorsed Republican Mike Rogers after losing the primary. He dismissed concerns, saying he gives Stevens no thought. The visit occurred as Cook Political Report shifted Michigan's Senate race from "toss-up" to "lean Democratic," with El-Sayed competing against Rogers in a closely watched contest.
