- Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic Michigan Senate candidate, fired back on Sunday at President Trump’s anti-Muslim rhetoric toward him.
- Abdul El-Sayed told supporters that Trump would refer to him as “Senator Mohamed” if he won in November, answering the president’s anti-Muslim attack with a title-based retort.
Why it matters: For the November Michigan Senate race, El-Sayed has put Trump’s anti-Muslim rhetoric at the center of his response, using the “Senator Mohamed” title he predicted Trump would use to answer the president directly. The exchange gives Michigan voters a direct contrast between the president’s attacks and the candidate’s response, with the election outcome still unknown.
