2:16Now PlayingAbdul El-Sayed called on Democrats to unite around his campaign as it pivots to the general election following his victory over Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) in the Democratic race for Michigan's U.S. Senate seat.
"As bitter and as divisive and as cynical as the campaign against us might have been, I want us to realize that there is so much more that unites us now," he said at a press conference in Detroit.
Mr. El-Sayed said the general election campaign against his Republican opponent, former Rep. Mike Rogers, would prove even more divisive, noting attack ads that have already been running in the state.
"You know, they think they want to use my whole name against me," he said. "Mike, listen man, if you can't say the name — it's Abdulrahman — keep the name out your damn mouth."
He said attacks on his name were the "only play they got," calling it "B.S. politics coming in to divide us."
"That's the best you got? You can't actually talk about what you want to do?" he said. "My name is not raising your gas prices. My name is not taking us to war. My name is not the reason you can't afford your groceries. You know what is? Their B.S. policies."
