President Donald Trump has accused Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed of ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, a controversial Islamist group. The claim comes amid a tight race for the state’s open Senate seat, where El-Sayed has positioned himself as a progressive alternative to the incumbent. While El-Sayed has denied any affiliation with the organization, the allegation has reignited debates over political alliances and foreign influence in U.S. elections. The statement adds a new layer to an already contentious campaign season.
