Misleading use of my clip: Crowd is not booing El-Sayed, this is the moment an anti-AES heckler was thrown out. People were chanting USA to drown him out just before this.

More Slotkin: Lots of people like to say thereās a debate between moderate vs progressive, or young vs old. The real debate among Democrats is fight vs flight ā¦ I am on team fight, and I need someone with me on team fight.
.@SenatorSlotkin, who is campaigning with El-Sayed for the first time: We donāt agree on everything ā but we agree on the things that are really important, which is putting a check on this man in the White House who is telling us America is over.

UMich College Republicans confirm reporting about offers to pay hecklers at El-Sayed event in Flint today, but says their org wasnāt involved and neither was the Rogers campaign:
Our organization did not orchestrate any of that, nor did the Rogers campaign, as he is not on their staff or on our executive board. That opportunity was presented to Iman following that viral moment and was in no part related to his attendance or actions at the previous event. We could care less if you ābelieveā it or not, because that is what is true.

Stop 2 for AES today: Macomb County, where heāll appear with Sen. Elissa Slotkin.
Michigan Dems see Macomb as a possible flip for El-Sayed. The areaās lone Dem state rep Mai Xiong told me just now she ā100%ā thought the county (and state) were winnable.
