Rabbis urge El-Sayed to affirm Jewish rights ahead of Obama visit

  • On Saturday, former President Barack Obama campaigned in Detroit, Michigan, for Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, framing the November 3 election as a "circuit breaker" to hold the administration accountable.
  • Ahead of the visit, the coalition group Nonnegotiable Michigan urged El-Sayed to affirm five "baseline commitments" regarding Jewish safety, identity, and statehood, citing past statements they called "very hurtful."
  • Recent polling shows El-Sayed leading Republican Mike Rogers 48.6% to 45.2%, a shift from the primary when Rogers held the advantage, as Democrats aim to control the 120th Congress.
  • Obama denounced attacks against El-Sayed's Muslim faith, stating opponents use fear and division to suggest candidates are "less than trustworthy" and "less American than they are."
  • The former president sarcastically ridiculed White House renovations and criticized Trump's Iran strategy, urging voters to "bring some accountability to this government" at the ballot box.
