Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York will campaign for Abdul El-Sayed, a Democrat in Michigan’s Senate race. One report says she has endorsed him and appeared with him at a fund-raiser in New York this week. According to a schedule shared by El-Sayed’s campaign, she will make stops in three small towns on his “It Shouldn’t Be This Hard” bus tour next Thursday. One report describes the contest as a test of the Democratic Party’s progressive wing and of Ocasio-Cortez’s potential 2028 prospects. Coverage differs on El-Sayed’s status: one report calls him the Democratic nominee, while another calls him a Senate hopeful.
