Abdul El-Sayed is running for something and Fetterman won't stop talking about him. The irony is that El-Sayed's campaign looks exactly like Fetterman's 2022 playbook: outsider energy, working class framing, actual policy instead of consultant-speak. The quoted tweet is just El-Sayed doing the culture war bit on opening day (Dodgers vs. Michigan sports), which is peak Fetterman move. Blue collar posturing dressed up as authenticity. Fetterman's pushing this because El-Sayed is one of the few Democrats actually executing the formula that worked for him: stop playing it safe, pick fights, talk like a human. Everyone else is still doing 2016.
