Abdul El-Sayed faces scrutiny over Israel, Iran, and coalition tensions in Michigan Senate race
Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed is facing criticism over his debate performance, his positions on Israel and Iran, and his ability to unite Arab American, Black, and Jewish Democratic voters ahead of the November 3 general election against Republican Mike Rogers. El-Sayed declined to name Iran as a greater threat than Israel during a debate and said he would not support providing defensive weapons to Israel. President Trump called him 'Mohammed' and made unsubstantiated accusations, drawing condemnation from Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
