Abdul El-Sayed Vows to Hold Trump Administration Accountable if Democrats Win Senate
El-Sayed said subpoena power could help Democrats investigate Trump officials and review tariff refunds, federal health policy and agency decisions.
- On Sunday, Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed told CNN he would use subpoena powers to investigate Trump administration officials if Democrats win Senate control, aiming to hold them accountable and build momentum for a 2028 Democratic presidency.
