Republicans cast Abdul El-Sayed as the face of the midterms

Original: Republicans want Abdul El-Sayed to be the main character of the midterms. He's happy to oblige

Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed has become a focal point for Republicans ahead of the midterm elections, with the party seeking to make him a defining figure of the campaign. El-Sayed, a progressive Democrat and former health official, is leaning into the attention rather than shying away, embracing the role as he battles for a key Senate seat in a state likely to shape the national political conversation.

Why now: Republicans see El-Sayed as a politically useful foil, and his Senate race in Michigan could decide the balance of power in the midterms.
