"El-Sayed became the center of a heated debate on the left after he appeared at a campaign rally alongside Twitch streamer Hasan Piker, who is known for his outlandish rhetoric."
"Piker has stirred controversy for saying things like Hamas unironically is the lesser evil compared to Israel, and Oh my god, 9/11 2 is going to be so sick."
"El-Sayed has also had some personal missteps, with a call leaking to the press that included him warning staff that his voters are likely sad on the day the Ayatollah Khamenei was killed."
"Despite these scandals, El-Sayed's campaign seems unaffected, as indicated by an 8-point gain in the Emerson poll since January."
Dr. Abdul El-Sayed has taken the lead in the Michigan Democratic primary, polling at 24% against state Sen. Mallory McMorrow's 23.6%. Rep. Haley Stevens trails with 13.4%. The poll is notable due to recent scandals involving El-Sayed, including his association with controversial Twitch streamer Hasan Piker. Despite these issues, El-Sayed's support has increased by 8 points since January, while McMorrow has gained 2 points and Stevens has lost 4 points in the same timeframe.
