The former first lady Hillary Clinton urged supporters of Abdul El-Sayed, the radical Muslim who just won the Democratic primary to be the Senate candidate for Michigan, to make peace with the Democratic Party establishment to win the election.
For the former Secretary of State, defeating Trump will "require fine work in outreach and a lot of willingness, both from the winning candidate and their base, to understand that they need the same people they have been attacking online," and added that El-Sayed's supporters ruthlessly attacked Hailey Stevens, the moderate candidate he faced in the Michigan opposition primary.
"I just hope that the people who perform well on screens can also deliver results, because that doesn't always go hand in hand," Clinton said about El-Sayed's supporters and their activism on social media. Stevens had faced mockery on social media for her way of speaking and her gestures.
Eyes on November
"You are not going to convince Republican voters in Michigan, and the real game is how we make those who voted for Haley feel comfortable voting for Abdul El-Sayed, and how we ensure that independents also feel at ease," Clinton added.
