Michigan Democratic Senate Candidate Abdul El-Sayed Walks Back Past Obama Criticism Ahead of Campaign Event

Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed publicly disavowed a 2012 Huffington Post column in which he described Barack Obama's first-term record as a series of failures. Speaking to a notable news channel, El-Sayed attributed the critical remarks to his youth. The walkback came ahead of a scheduled joint campaign event with former President Obama.

A 2012 opinion piece in which Abdul El-Sayed, now running for a Michigan Senate seat as a Democrat, had outlined what he viewed as shortcomings in Barack Obama's first-term performance was later walked back by El-Sayed himself. Following Romney's loss in the 2012 presidential race, El-Sayed contributed a piece to the Huffington Post in which he described the outcome as falling short of a genuine victory. Speaking to a prominent television outlet, El-Sayed attributed the remarks to the fact that he had been young at the time.
