Michigan Senate Race Centers on Rogers Questions About El-Sayed's Background
What happened
Republican Mike Rogers and Democrat Abdul El-Sayed clashed in Senate debates over allegations regarding El-Sayed's connections to the Muslim Brotherhood. Rogers questioned El-Sayed's loyalty to America and referenced a 2012 letter to Egypt's president, while El-Sayed denied the allegations and called the questioning beneath Rogers. President Trump described El-Sayed as "100% Muslim Brotherhood," and some Democrats urged voters not to support El-Sayed.
Side by side
Left-leaning outlets lead with attacks on El-Sayed as "un-American" and describe the race as getting "nastier," emphasizing Rogers' "condemn" talk being "thrown right back in his face." Coverage frames El-Sayed as facing "bigoted attacks" and Vice President Vance calling him a "weasel."
