Voters in Michigan elected Abdul El-Sayed, an epidemiologist and former public health official, to serve in the U.S. Senate. He will be the first Muslim to serve in the upper chamber. Winning that election wasn’t easy. Republicans, including President Trump, unleashed bigoted vitriol against him and there were plenty of naysayers within the Democratic party who believed he leaned too far left to win in the swing state.

Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed sat down with NPR host Leila Fadel to talk about why he believes Democrats should drop the decorum when dealing with President Trump.

You can watch El-Sayed’s full interview, where he talks about Democratic party leadership and whether he wants to investigate the Trump administration, in the link in the bio.
