## Resource

Republicans are turning Abdul El-Sayed, Michigan’s first Muslim Senate nominee, into a political punching bag—attacking his progressive views, his ties to controversial streamer Hasan Piker, and his faith—with claims like funding from the Muslim Brotherhood, none of which are substantiated. President Trump has labeled him an “extremist,” while GOP convention speeches amplify these attacks to smear all Democrats. But El-Sayed is staying focused: campaigning in East Lansing and downtown Lansing, tackling trade wars and foreign policy, and countering the narrative with a heartfelt ad featuring his grandparents to humanize himself and connect with voters. He’s made clear: only he and his team speak for his campaign—and he’s determined to win Michigan, not get dragged into national drama.
