19-year-old Brandon Young from 6 Mile says he’s voting for Abdul El-Sayed because Haley Stevens is pro-Israel. “She’s too much of a corporate, Israel shill,” Young says.
Stevens met with community leader Jai Singletary, who told her he already voted for Abdul El-Sayed.
Singletary showed photos of the youth soccer team he coaches before telling Stevens lawmakers shouldn’t be supporting Israel’s military that has killed children in Palestine.
I asked Congressman Clyburn about the generational divide in the race, clear at today’s event, which was attended mostly by much older voters than what we’ve seen at El-Sayed rallies: “That’s great, that’s our future,” he said.
