Michigan Senate Race Highlights El-Sayed's Candidacy Amid Criticism and Party Divisions
Michigan's 2026 Senate race features Democrat Abdul El-Sayed, who could become the first Muslim senator, facing criticism from Republicans and divisions within his own party. Former President Trump called Black and Jewish voters supporting El-Sayed 'crazy' and linked him to the Muslim Brotherhood, allegations El-Sayed denies. Meanwhile, Democratic tensions persist over El-Sayed's criticism of Israel and campaign rhetoric, with some party members urging unity ahead of the election against Republican Mike Rogers.
