‘He Is a Man of Hate’: Trump Berates Abdul El Sayed After He Scores Big in Michigan Primary

El-Sayed called Trump’s remarks Islamophobic after AIPAC spent millions backing his primary rival, and he said the race should focus on affordability.

  • On Wednesday, President Donald Trump attacked Michigan's Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed in Las Vegas, accusing the former Wayne County health official of hating Jews and being "full of s---".
  • Criticism follows recent footage showing Mohammad Baqer Qazwini of the Islamic Institute of America celebrating Senator Lindsey Graham's death and urging followers to elect El-Sayed.
  • Responding to the attacks, El-Sayed dismissed the president's remarks as a distraction from a "generational" affordability crisis, claiming voters care more about gas costs than "the drapes in his ballroom."
  • Last Tuesday, El-Sayed secured the Democratic nomination by one percentage point, setting up a November race against Republican former congressman Mike Rogers that could determine Senate control.
  • Political analyst Kyle Kondik of the University of Virginia suggested caution regarding Trump's involvement, noting voters may prefer focusing on El-Sayed's record rather than the president's rhetoric.
