BASH: “You're still fully behind Abdul El-Sayed?”

STEVENS: “Look, I'm on the Democratic ticket. I can't say that I agree with everything that's gone on… I'm looking to be on the team to support my next governor Jocelyn Benson, and frankly these great Democrats who are working e going to make Hakeem Jeffries the first black Speaker of the House.”
