'''Abdul El‑Sayed''' is a [[progressive]] [[Democrat]] and 2026 [[U.S. Senate]] candidate from [[Michigan]]. He rose to prominence as [[Detroit]]’s health officer, later led Wayne County’s health department.

A fitness buff, he can bench press 315 pounds. He uses his workouts and [[social media]] to connect well with [[Gen Z]] voters.

After Sen. [[John Fetterman]] (D-PA) sharply attacked [[progressive]] candidate [[Graham Platner]] and generally opposed, often with vitriol, progressive principles, El-Sayed said in a leaked recording of a call with donors:

+

{{If I win … well y’all came at me so now I get to come at you, and you know, primarying people like John Fetterman, I have no problem to do that. Ideally you put one ogre on a pike and then everyone else gets the message and all of a sudden starts to sound a lot different.<ref>https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5994020-fetterman-slams-pontiac-platner/</ref>}}

When subsequently asked about his statement during a political debate, El-Sayed did not retract or apologize for it.
