Endorsement not always full-throated but party backing marks major turn after bitter split over nomination Facing a barrage of extreme attacks from Donald Trump and his allies, the Democratic establishment is finally rallying around progressive Abdul El-Sayed, the party’s candidate in the closely-watched US Senate election in Michigan.

It’s because he is anti Israel.
Like most of the country except for our “behind the times” congress.
It’s always popular to be on the wrong side of history.
