A Progressive Policy Prescription with Abdul El-Sayed

As candidates make their closing arguments to voters ahead of Election Day, Jon is joined by Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Dr. Abdul El-Sayed to talk about the state of his race in the final stretch. Together, they discuss how his family’s immigrant background shaped his politics, the case he's making to skeptical voters, and the disconnect between the issues dominating media coverage and the concerns Michiganders are raising on the ground. Plus, Jon answers listeners’ questions about AI-generated music, fake polls, and fake news!
