The daughter of the late boxing legend Muhammad Ali and her son have publicly endorsed Dr. Abdul El‑Sayed in his campaign for the United States Senate.

Ali, who passed away in 2016, was a three‑time world heavyweight champion and a global cultural icon. His daughter, who has pursued a career in sports and public life, and her son, his grandson, have now entered the political arena by supporting El‑Sayed.

Dr. Abdul El‑Sayed, a public‑health physician and former mayoral candidate, is running for a seat in the U.S. Senate. His platform emphasizes health‑care reform, economic equity and climate action.

The endorsement adds a high‑profile, culturally resonant voice to El‑Sayed’s campaign, potentially broadening his appeal among voters who admire the Ali family’s legacy of activism and social justice.

While the endorsement does not guarantee electoral success, it underscores the growing trend of prominent public figures lending their support to candidates who align with their values and community priorities.
