As the dust settles on a highly contested Democratic primary in Michigan, gubernatorial hopefuls Abdul El-Sayed and Shri Thanedar's former campaign manager, Adiam Emiye, and the former campaign manager of El-Sayed's opponent, Gretchen Whitmer's, 2018 campaign, are now throwing their support behind El-Sayed's bid to become the next governor of Michigan. El-Sayed's efforts to project party unity come after a contentious primary that saw him face off against former Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan's former top aide and former state Senator, Gretchen Whitmer. El-Sayed will need to win over the support of former opponents and their backers in order to unite the party and take on the Republican challenger in the general election. Can El-Sayed successfully bridge the divide and move forward with a united Democratic front?
