Smart move by both El-Sayed and Harris. Looking forward to seeing how Democratic "Centrists" attack him now.

I don't care if she runs again, thats what the primary is for. I voted for her last time and will vote for her again this time around if shes chosen but do people not remember how fast she crashed out in 2020? She wont be the nominee by decree this time.

Unfortunately, if he gets elected, the Dems won't let him do much of anything. He'll have to vote for aid packages to Israel if Schumer and Jeffries take leadership roles again at a minimum. He'll be an outcast to all but Bernie I imagine.
-
I think he's using her to secure the votes from the black community, and she's using him to launder her pro-genocide reputation. It could be mutually beneficial, or it could tank both of their campaigns. We'll see, hopefully Abdul makes it out of this okay at least.

Seems like he’s going to get more heat from Bluesky weirdos than centrists.

That depends. Are we in the worst timeline?

Well ain't that a campaign killer Kamala Harris is to campaign in Michigan with Abdul El-Sayed https:// apnews.com/article/elsayed-kam ala-harris-michigan-senate-52f04f16a2d7aa6002df684c1e8aea29

Oh God is she running for president again?
-
AES is not an idiot. If Kamala is acting as a surrogate for him, it’s because he thinks it’ll benefit his campaign.
-
Well your comfortability will have to take a step back coz the black vote needs to be solidified
-
Kamala DEVI Harris? (Like how FOX did Barack HUSSEIN Obama)
-
Hey look! He's teaming up with Ms. "I wouldn't do anything different with Israel and Gaza..."
-
Oh no! He's been doing so well up until this. "Hey! Tie this rusty anchor to your neck! That should help!"

Probably turn on Kamala for a double whammy of misogyny and Islamophobia.

Huge. Kamala Harris is coming to Detroit to campaign for Abdul El-Sayed.

These people will never learn. I wish he told her no and just got support and resources from her behind the scene. The old guard democrats are shit and must all be challenged
-
The popular vote is a pretty direct measure of likeability though, that's kind of the point. You're conflating two separate arguments here

I mean all they need to do is hold a normal democratic primary process …. Which they totally failed to do in 2016 and 2024
