“The reason for El-Sayed’s momentum is clear—like Obi-Wan Kenobi, he has the high ground. Voters are desperate for moral clarity and not many Democrats have covered themselves in glory on that front as of late. … It’s time to officially anoint Abdul as the front-runner.”

Mallory McMorrow was a promising candidate whose campaign was over once her attack against Abdul El-Sayed and Hasan Piker backfired. It amplified El-Sayed and made her seem like she was more interested in attacking her opponent’s character rather that stating her own vision.
