Fact Check: JD Vance Attacks Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan
Vance called Abdul El-Sayed one of the worst people and said Democrats are testing how far the party can go in Michigan, a key Senate battleground.
- On Thursday, Vice President JD Vance visited Monroe, Michigan, to campaign for the Republican ticket, calling Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed "one of the worst people" in United States history.
- Republicans view Michigan's open Senate seat as a "battle between grievance and gratitude," positioning the state as "ground zero" for the upcoming November 3 midterm election.
- Vance characterized the candidate as a "little weasel" while claiming El-Sayed represents the "far left," citing past comments regarding energy policies and the "defund the police" movement.
- Later Thursday, El-Sayed responded during a speech in Marquette, describing himself as a "Wolverine" who graduated from the University of Michigan rather than a "weasel."
- Former Rep. Mike Rogers, whom Vance is campaigning for, narrowly trails El-Sayed 45% to 48.1% in a race that remains a must-win contest for control of the upper chamber.
