In an NPR Newsmakers interview, Abdul El-Sayed says he wants a change in leadership in the United States Senate, where he says he'll be operating. His plan: pass the law, force Donald Trump to veto it, then tell voters Trump doesn't want them to have healthcare. He also blames Trump's tariff policy for people paying $5,600 in his state alone.

But I've been clear, like I want to change in leadership in the space where I'll be operating in the United States Senate for a reason. I think we need to go and affirmatively lead, right? Take big bets on fighting for the American public, get caught trying, pass the law and force Donald Trump to veto it. And then go out there and be like, look, Donald Trump does not want you to have healthcare. Donald Trump does not want to stop a war that you're paying for in your tax dollars, gas, groceries. Donald Trump is the reason why you're paying $5 ,600 in my state alone because of a tariff policy that makes no coherent sense. Let's go fight on behalf of the public and see what happens.
