The 42-year-old from Michigan is now calling for new Senate leadership and urging President Trump to meet and discuss how they can “figure out what we can work on and get done.”El-Sayed, a former Detroit public health official, even floated the idea of naming major healthcare legislation after Trump.“Put his name on it,” El-Sayed said. “He'll probably pass it.
