Take two.
Abdul El Sayed ran for governor in 2018 and he asked one of his opponents to drop out so that he had a better chance at defeating the front runner named Gretchen Whitmer. Opponent Shri Thanader rejected the overture to step aside and instead asked Dr. El Sayed to take an early shower. Well he said no and the rest, as they say, is history. The two men in the race divided up the vote and she was the one being sworn in to be the state’s second female governor. And the two guys were left to ponder, what if one of them had set their egos aside to give the other a chance?
Fast forward to last week when physician El Sayed announced he was running for statewide office again. This time for the U.S. Senate seat. And he won’t be alone as state senator Mallory McMorrow is already running and take this to the bank, there is no way that she will drop out and likewise for Congresswoman Haley Stevens who was seen taping what was expected to be part of her announcement for the job as well. And there could be more.
