Summary
A Friday Instagram post from Ms. Rachel backed 12 progressive Democratic candidates in eight states, including Cori Bush and Michigan Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed, saying they are the people she believes “care about all kids.”
Accurso tied the endorsements to policies she says protect children and families, citing medical care, safety from violence and opposition to billionaires, while also criticizing millions of dollars in outside spending in Democratic primaries.
El-Sayed’s campaign also received a $3,000 payment from Accurso ahead of Tuesday’s Michigan primary, though a federal filing did not specify whether it was a contribution or a loan.
The endorsements extend Accurso’s broader political turn: she visited Newark’s Delaney Hall detention facility in June and has urged Congress to end family detention and separation, using an audience that includes more than 20 million YouTube subscribers.
