Republicans are amplifying Islamophobic attacks as Abdul El-Sayed seeks to become the first Muslim elected to the Senate.
- Republican figures in the Michigan Senate race have intensified attacks on Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed, labeling the medical doctor a terrorist and supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood.
- Tensions escalated last week when former primary opponent Rep. Haley Stevens demanded El-Sayed condemn an outside group's ad linking U.S. military aid to Israel to rising grocery prices, which she characterized as antisemitic.
- Defending the candidate on "Face the Nation," Sen. Bernie Sanders condemned the "racist, fearmongering ads" as "disgusting," urging voters to focus on El-Sayed's policy agenda instead.
- Stevens publicly endorsed Republican Mike Rogers, stating she does not belong in El-Sayed's campaign and claiming his rhetoric does not reflect "who we are as Michiganders."
- Heading into the final days, El-Sayed maintains campaign focus with national allies including Rep. James Clyburn and Sen. Elizabeth Warren for the "Knock Out the Vote" canvassing event.

Abdul El-Sayed still cannot condemn antisemitism
Abdul El-Sayed STILL cannot condemn antisemitism. He had days to condemn the antisemitic ads running in support of his campaign, yet he waited until the Shabbat began to put out a statement that – yet again – doesn’t condemn antisemitism or even mention the ads.
