Vice President JD Vance Criticizes Michigan Democratic Senate Candidate Abdul El-Sayed for Abandoning Working-Class Roots

Vice President JD Vance criticized Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, arguing that the modern Democratic Party has abandoned its working-class roots. Speaking at a steel plant in Ohio, Vance highlighted El-Sayed's past remarks where the candidate linked criticisms of the Sharia law to white supremacy. Vance noted that his own grandfather, a union worker, would find El-Sayed's stance on Sharia law difficult to understand, stating, "That's not my grandpa's Democratic Party." El-Sayed, a progressive candidate, has faced scrutiny for his socialist leanings and his association with far-left streamer Hasan Piker. Critics, including former gubernatorial candidate Tudor Dixon, warn that El-Sayed's policies could "permanently change America" by moving toward a government that takes over people's lives. El-Sayed has also faced criticism for his personal remarks regarding the second lady, Usha Vance, and an aide to President Trump, Natalie Harp. The race for the Michigan Senate seat, which led by retiring Senator Gary Peters, will help determine control of the overall Senate. El-Sayed faces Republican former Congressman Mike Rogers.
