Vance calls El-Sayed ‘very, very evil’

Vance accused El-Sayed of disrespecting Usha Vance and tied the criticism to his broader case against the Democrat on faith and politics.

  • On Monday, August 31, 2026, Vice President JD Vance campaigned in Sterling Heights, Michigan, launching a sharp rebuke against Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed for recent comments about Vance's family.
  • Tensions escalated after El-Sayed questioned whether Vance's grandfather would have approved of his marriage to second lady Usha Vance, following earlier podcast remarks where he mused about her personal life.
  • Vance retorted, "Keep my wife's name the hell out of your mouth," while criticizing El-Sayed's "hurt people hurt people" remark after the March attack on Temple Israel.
  • Usha Vance told Fox News she "kind of laughed" at the remarks, while GOP Senate candidate Mike Rogers defended her, welcoming Indian American voters to the Republican Party.
  • Beyond the political sparring, Vance touted a federal crackdown on fraudulent trucking licensing that has shuttered more than 100 schools ahead of the November 3 midterm elections.
