In separate podcast interviews on COURIER’s Gloves Off, Abdul El-Sayed and Mallory McMorrow explain why they’re running for US Senate—and how they see the race unfolding in the months ahead.
MICHIGAN—The race for an open US Senate seat in Michigan is already drawing national attention. And two Democrats who are hoping to win it are now laying out their case to voters.
In exclusive new interviews on the Gloves Off podcast, Abdul El-Sayed and Mallory McMorrow sat down with COURIER founder Tara McGowan to talk about their campaigns, the political moment, and what they think the Democratic Party should be doing differently.
The conversations offer an early look at two candidates vying to replace US Sen. Gary Peters in what is expected to be one of the most closely watched US Senate races in the country.
El-Sayed, a physician and public health expert who ran for governor in 2018, discusses why he believes the country needs a different kind of leadership in Washington. McMorrow, a state senator from Oakland County who gained national attention for a widely shared speech defending LGBTQ+ rights, talks about the priorities she would bring to the US Senate.
Watch below and check out the full interviews on the Gloves Off podcast, a weekly political podcast from COURIER that’s designed to cut through the noise and hold power accountable.
