He now says that approach was a mistake.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wanted to make sure that folks understood that the attempt to offer a broader context in a moment so close to an attack like that was ill-timed. It was ill-suited for the broader goal I had, which is to say when a community is attacked, it\u2019s wrong,\u201d El-Sayed told NOTUS. \u201cThere\u2019s plenty of opportunity to talk about how things are interconnected, but not in the acute moment of pain.\u201d<\/p><p><b>Is this the approach that finally puts the primary in the past? <\/b>Polls continue to show <span><u>a very tight race<\/u><\/span> with Republican nominee <b>Mike Rogers<\/b>, and plenty of Democrats still consider El-Sayed to be a liability.
