Wait 5 sec.

“Abdul El-Sayed looks like he would rather be anywhere else,” Time reports.“The Michigan Senate candidate makes no effort to greet the corporate executives, lobbyists, and consultants drifting around him on Mackinac Island, where the state’s political establishment convenes every spring for a gathering of power brokers and deal-makers. Ferries shuttle attendees onto the car-free island, where horse-drawn carriages move at a leisurely pace and the sprawling Grand Hotel overlooking Lake Huron becomes a hot spot for the local elite.”“It is precisely the sort of place that El-Sayed, a former local public-health director and podcaster, denounces as the problem with American politics.”Said El-Sayed: “I’ve been to that conference way too many times. It’s always weird.”
