Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez used a Sunday television appearance to declare Democrats unified heading into the midterms, but a growing faction inside her own party is spending millions to stop the socialist wing she represents.

Abdul El-Sayed, a left-wing Michigan Senate candidate who campaigns as a champion of the working class, disclosed a rental property in Dubai and up to $100,000 in debt to a luxury real estate developer, days before the state's primary election.

He said the disclosure was "complicated" because "my wife and her family own property abroad." Complicated is one word for it. The disclosure, first reported by…Open
