Abdul El-Sayed contrasts visions of America with Trump

El-Sayed elaborated on this sentiment in an interview with CNN's "State of the Union," explaining that one vision represents 'overlords' focused on profit, while the other embodies families who 'genuinely love each other' and wish to build an America where they can raise their children.

This exchange follows previous criticism from Trump, who after El-Sayed's primary win, alleged that the candidate 'hates' Israel and Jewish people. El-Sayed refuted these claims, asserting his deep respect for Judaism and Jewish people, while distinguishing them from AIPAC and the Israeli government. He has been critical of Israeli actions in Gaza, labeling them a 'genocide,' and has indicated he would not support further aid to Israel.

El-Sayed differentiated his stance on aid to Ukraine, citing the violation of international law by Russia, from the long-standing, unconditional military aid provided to Israel, Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia, emphasizing the importance of conditions tied to such support.
