Trump’s Rants Prompt Democratic Rally
Tap title to read story
Facing a barrage of extreme attacks from Donald Trump and his allies, the Democratic establishment is finally rallying around progressive Abdul El‑Sayed, the party’s candidate in the closely watched U.S.
Senate election in Michigan.
The endorsement is not always full‑throated, often omitting his name.
At a rally in Port Huron on Sunday, the president launched a wave of Islamophobic rants, branding El‑Sayed a “jihadist” and “Muslim Brotherhood member” while invoking 9/11.
Prominent Democrats lined up to support him: Bernie Sanders rallied with him in Grand Rapids, Barack Obama stood beside him in Detroit, and Alexandria Ocasio‑Cortez toured the state earlier.
