Abdul El-Sayed Lists Anti-Trump Investigations As Top Priority If Dems Take Senate– trendingpoliticsnews.com

Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Michigan, appeared on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday and outlined plans contingent on Democrats securing a Senate majority after the November elections. In the interview with Jake Tapper, El-Sayed stated that reigniting partisan investigations into the Trump Administration would be a priority if he wins his race and Democrats take control of the chamber.

“We ran this campaign to do three things: get money out of politics, put money in your pocket, past Medicare for all. When I’m elected to the U.S. Senate, the first thing we need to do is start holding the Trump administration accountable,” the DSA-backed nominee told Tapper.

He continued by specifying the mechanism for such actions. “You know, when we win, God willing, I will take my seat as a member of a Senate majority. That gives us subpoena power to be able to investigate all of the ways that this administration has used their power for their gain and enrichment and against ours,” he said.
