00:01Could the U.S. elect its first Muslim senator?
00:05Muslim Americans already serve in the House of Representatives,
00:08but none has ever served in the Senate.
00:10That could change with Dr. Abdul El-Sayed,
00:13an epidemiologist, former public health official,
00:16and progressive candidate running in Michigan's closely-watched Democratic primary.
00:20His campaign is drawing attention not only because he could make history,
00:24but because he is openly challenging traditional U.S. policy toward Israel.
00:30Shouldn't be this hard to pay your taxes and know that that money is going to be spent on you
00:35rather than to drop bombs on somebody else and their kids.
00:38El-Sayed wants to end unconditional U.S. military aid to Israel
00:43and has strongly criticized AIPAC's influence in American elections.
00:47Why does that matter?
00:48Michigan is a key battleground state with one of the country's largest Arab-American communities.
00:53A primary victory would show that a candidate can challenge Washington's approach to Israel
00:58and still win a major statewide Democratic contest,
01:02but he would still need to win the general election in November.
01:05One senator cannot transform U.S. foreign policy alone,
01:09but El-Sayed could strengthen efforts to condition or reduce military aid to Israel.
01:14Win or lose, his campaign reflects a growing shift inside the Democratic Party.
01:18The Senate is brought to an office of Colombia's United States.
01:18The Senate is raised to the country and was in a city where the United States is staying at a
01:19certain level.
01:19So let's go back and learn the Red Dead.
01:19The-Book-L hat had a better life to make history.
01:21The University of the United States is new and the Old Testament of America,
