El-Sayed opened with a speech on his upbringing, discussing how his background in medicine and public health inspired his road to politics. After realizing the correlation between the physical well-being of the population and policy, El-Sayed explained his newfound passion in supporting medicine on the governmental side more than the hospitality side.

After discussing his background, El-Sayed described his policy measures and his goals if elected. Along with eliminating tax cuts for billionaires and expanding healthcare accessibility through 'Medicare for all,' El-Sayed spoke on his passion for speaking truth from the start and the Gaza-Israel war. El-Sayed pushes to label the war a genocide, expressing how he hopes to create a world where 20,000 child casualties would never happen again. 

Also noted was that, despite overlap with other candidates who have declined corporate sponsorship, El-Sayed’s unchanging stance on issues, such as the Israel-Gaza war, differentiates him from others. 

There was also emphasis placed on the role of students in changing the future. "The energy and enthusiasm behind something like this is about, young people seeing this as a vehicle for their hopes in the future of the living," El-Sayed stated. 

The audience was composed of mostly students, with members of the public attending to show support for El-Sayed. However, all questions were asked by students, covering topics like potential cooperation with Republicans and right-wing voters who are harmed by cuts to healthcare, his differentiating factors in comparison to other Democratic candidates, his policy on taxing wealth, specifics on his healthcare policy, and unemployment for college students. 

General members expressed satisfaction with the event. Political science freshman Henry Busse said that he was happy with the event, "[El-Sayed] did have a big speech, but we had more time for questions than we normally do with candidates."

Also expressing satisfaction was Mohe Elbaz, who personally felt connected to El-Sayed's advocacy for Gaza. With Palestinian roots, Elbaz was pleased with El-Sayed's direct answers regarding Gaza and other potentially 'controversial' topics.

Regarding the turnout, El-Sayed said: "At campuses across the state, students are showing up in droves. Yesterday’s room at MSU is what we’ve seen everywhere from Ann Arbor to Houghton. They’re coming because we offer a version of politics that actually fights for them. After ten campus town halls and the launch of our fellowship program, I can tell you this: young people are driving this campaign. Michigan is better for it."
