## Caption

Plachta Auditorium was filled with a cacophany of Central Michigan University students, Mount Pleasant residents and others shouting support for the democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed speak on Friday, Oct. 9.⁠
⁠
"It shouldn't be this hard to afford a second bag of groceries, shouldn't be this hard to fill your temple," El-Sayed said. "Shouldn't be this hard to see a doctor in the richest, most powerful country in the world." ⁠
⁠
El-Sayed is running against Republican Mike Rogers for Michigan's United States Senate seat, which is currently occupied by incumbent democrat Gary Peters. ⁠
⁠
Michiganders will hit the polls on Nov. 3. The results of this election will likely play a big role in whether or not the GOP will remain in control of the Senate chamber.⁠
