Donald Trump says Abdul El‑Sayed is a "Muslim Brotherhood guy" in Michigan Senate race

During Michigan’s midterm Senate race, Donald Trump alleged that Abdul El-Sayed, now senator-elect, had links to the Muslim Brotherhood, and Republican rival Mike Rogers made a similar charge, according to the article. The piece calls the allegation false and says much of the US media repeated it. El-Sayed won after Aipac spent heavily trying to defeat him in the primary and backed Rogers in the general election, the article says. It treats his win as a key test of US policy toward Israel and Gaza and as evidence that the Iran war hurt Republicans politically. The quote belongs to that campaign controversy over El-Sayed’s alleged affiliations and the broader fight over Israel policy.
