Every member of the "Squad", a group of left-wing US House Democrats, has endorsed Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan's upcoming Democratic Senate primary, according to his campaign. The unanimous backing highlights a broader rift within the Democratic Party over the direction of its Senate field in Michigan, with progressive and establishment wings appearing divided ahead of the vote.

The endorsers include Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Summer Lee of Pennsylvania, Delia Ramirez of Illinois and Greg Casar of Texas. El-Sayed has faced questions over his association with prominent left-wing figures such as Senator Bernie Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez, and has publicly rejected the "socialist" label despite this support. The endorsements come just days before Michigan's Democratic Senate primary.
