Current Affairs is pleased to announce that public health expert Dr. Abdul El-Sayed has been nominated as the Democratic Party candidate for U.S. Senate in Michigan. Our magazine has covered Dr. El-Sayed’s work many times over the years, and he is a former contributor to our pages and our YouTube channel. This victory has significant ramifications for American politics, as a remarkable demonstration of progressives’ political power. El-Sayed prevailed despite tens of millions of dollars being spent by AIPAC in order to stop him. If he wins in November, it will be a powerful rebuke to those who claim that left politics cannot win in “purple” states.
