“Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed disavowed a 2012 opinion piece criticizing what he said were ‘failures’ by President Barack Obama during his first term in office,” the Washington Post reports.
Said El-Sayed: “I was younger. And I was angry about circumstances. That’s 2012 now, so it’s 2026, 14 years on. You grow up and you start to appreciate just how hard change is and how important it is to pick up and push.”
