Abdul El-Sayed is the first Muslim to be elected to the U.S. Senate. The 42-year-old progressive is now calling for new Senate leadership and calling on President Trump to meet and discuss how they can work to “figure out what we can work on and get done.”

El-Sayed sat down with NPR host Leila Fadel to talk about a divisive campaign season, the future of the Democratic Party and how Congress should legislate during the final two years of Trump’s term in the White House.
