Abdul el Sayed, a progressive candidate in the Senate race for Michigan, said he will speak with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) if he wins the Democratic primary next month.

Schumer supports Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI), a comparatively centrist candidate compared to el Sayed. The two contenders are running to succeed retiring Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI), who likewise supports Stevens.
