- El-Sayed backs Medicare for All and abolishing ICE.
- Brooks links social programmes to dependency and cites family statistics.

## Summary

Pastor Corey Brooks argues that Abdul El-Sayed’s appeal to Black voters in Michigan relies on what Brooks sees as liberal condescension and a focus on historical grievance. He says El-Sayed’s proposals and rhetoric risk encouraging dependence on government, while offering too little emphasis on personal responsibility and American identity.

Brooks notes that El-Sayed supports Medicare for All and abolishing ICE, has spoken at Democratic Socialists of America events, and has received help from DSA members, although the organisation has not endorsed him and El-Sayed calls himself a capitalist. After losing Detroit in the August primary, El-Sayed visited Black churches and promoted plans for housing, minority business loans and school repairs. Brooks cites a rise in the share of Black children born to unmarried mothers, from 23.6% in 1963 to 69% in 2023, and says his organisation Project H.O.O.D. seeks to counter dependency through job training and character building.
