Kamala Harris to Campaign for Abdul El‑Sayed in Michigan

Former Vice President Kamala Harris is slated to support Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El Sayed at a campaign event next week, according to multiple reports. Harris will join the physician‑politician for a roundtable discussion on Black maternal health scheduled for Tuesday, The Associated Press said.

El Sayed, a doctor who previously headed the health departments of Detroit and Wayne County, is running as a Democrat for the U.S. Senate seat. The roundtable will bring together community leaders and health experts to address disparities in maternal outcomes for Black women, a priority area for both Harris and El Sayed. The event is part of a broader effort to highlight health equity issues ahead of the upcoming election.

The appearance underscores the national dimension of the Senate race, with Harris’s endorsement expected to boost El Sayed’s visibility in Michigan. The campaign will use the platform to emphasize the candidate’s record on public health and his commitment to improving maternal care for marginalized communities.
