Abdul El-Sayed Says He Would Not Support Chuck Schumer as Senate Democrat Leader

‘We’ve watched as money has come out of our politics, and we don’t yet have Medicare for all, not even a movement for it’

EXCERPT:

EL-SAYED: “Well, look, I'll tell you this. I want whoever's going to give us the best shot at leading to get money out of politics, put money in your pocket, pass Medicare for all. And I know right now the leadership that we've had for too long on the Democratic side is a lot more interested in courting big money into our politics. We've watched as money has come out of our politics and we don't yet have Medicare for all, not even a movement for it. And so we need leadership that is going to lead forthrightly on these questions. I think Senator Van Hollen has demonstrated he has the right combination of statesmanship and legislative acumen and leadership on these issues. I think he'd make a fantastic Senate majority leader when we win the Senate.”
