Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed clashed with Fox News host Jesse Watters on a variety of topics, including immigration enforcement and the Iran war. El-Sayed has also been distancing himself from Hasan Piker amid scrutiny from both ends of the political spectrum. Hakeem Jeffries stated that on impeachment, 'we haven't ruled anything in and we haven't ruled anything out', with any move guided by 'moments of accountability.'
