JD Vance Calls Former Michigan Health Official Abdul El-Sayed a ‘Psychopath’

Vance said El-Sayed had engaged in anti-white racial hatred and urged voters to back Republican candidates as the GOP pushes for turnout.

  • On Tuesday, Vice President JD Vance campaigned in Howell, Michigan, accusing Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed of engaging in "explicitly anti-white racial hatred" during remarks to reporters.
  • Two years after President Donald Trump carried Michigan by 1.4 percentage points, the Republican Party faces serious risks of losing both Senate and House seats in this critical battleground.
  • Vance contrasted El-Sayed with Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers, describing Rogers as "fundamentally a decent guy," while claiming the Democrat had "a lot of weird friends" and aligned with those justifying violence.
  • The "Safety and Affordability PAC" has reserved $6.3 million in local airtime to support Republican incumbent Rep. Tom Barrett, as total ad spending in the seventh district topped $47 million.
  • Barrett faces a challenge from Democrat Will Lawrence, who has leveraged a populist platform to lead by as much as eight points in recent polling ahead of next Tuesday's midterms.
