Well supportedReported by 14 independent outlets

Abdul El-Sayed conducted a town hall tour across Michigan, addressing issues of affordability, including the cost of gas, groceries, mortgages, and medical care. During a stop in Gratiot County, the Michigan Farmers Union endorsed El-Sayed, and he discussed how farmers' challenges mirror general affordability problems. El-Sayed also criticized Mike Rogers for avoiding these economic issues and characterized Donald Trump as a symptom of political problems.
