Trump Criticizes Michigan Senate Candidate El-Sayed Ahead of 2026 Midterms
In the lead-up to the 2026 U.S. midterm elections, former President Donald Trump intensified his criticism of Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, accusing him of ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and labeling him a "jihadist," claims El-Sayed denies and fact-checkers find unsubstantiated. Trump also targeted Black and Jewish voters, questioning their support for El-Sayed. Additionally, Trump renewed attacks on Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. These remarks come amid heightened efforts by both parties to influence key Senate races.
