People in Michigan are having a hard time buying groceries.They are spending $5 just to get a gallon of gas.They are struggling to pay their rent, said El-Sayed during an appearance on journalist Jim Acosta’s podcast.
“And this man, he was elected to office promising to fix all of that, but instead he started a war that made gas prices go up even more,” the Senate candidate continued.
“He’s busy trying to decide the color of the drapes or fix the Reflecting Pool, which he can’t even do.And so yeah, he’s going to try and scare people about me, but the real question is about him.”
“Every single day he talks about me, we’re winning, because at the end of the day, I am everything he fears,” said El-Sayed.
“So we are going to stand up to him.We are going to take him on.”
“We are going to subpoena all of his officials.”
“We are going to fight for the affordability that he doesn’t even care to fight for.”
“We’re going to get money out of politics.”
“We’re going to put money in your pocket.”
“We’re gonna pass Medicare for All, and we’re gonna beat his handpicked Republican, Mike Rogers,” he concluded.
This is what a winning message sounds like.
El-Sayed is absolutely right that Trump talking about him will only help him win.Every time the so-called President throws out some unconvincing “communist” smear or pushes some cheap Islamophobic attack, it gives El-Sayed a chance to respond and then shift to talking about everyday issues.
Because the truth is, Donald Trump doesn’t care about affordability.
He’s dismissed it as a hoax and now spends all of his time thinking about his White House ballroom, or his ugly gold statues, or his Reflecting Pool mess.
Meanwhile, Democrats like El-Sayed are talking about affordable healthcare, childcare, and housing.
They’re talking about cutting off funding for Israel’s genocide in Gaza so that we can spend those tax dollars here, helping working-class people.They’re talking about things that really matter to voters.
