ABDUL EL-SAYED IS currently running third in Michigan's Democratic primary for governor.
The 33-year-old former Detroit health commissioner is young, progressive, Muslim and an undeniable underdog.
But he also happens to be one of eight candidates around the country who have earned the blessing of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the Democratic Socialist wunderkind from New York City who convulsed the political world by pulling off the upset of the year in her late June primary defeat of Rep. Joe Crowley.
