Michigan Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed said in newly circulating video that every third clip auto-playing on his Instagram feed is an “OnlyFans model.” El-Sayed said his own browsing habits had little to do with what the platform pushed to him. “Like you think about if you’re on Instagram, my team has access to my Instagram account and like the things that I actually look at on Instagram, right?” El-Sayed has built much of his campaign around winning back young men, a bloc that drifted toward President Donald Trump and Republicans in 2024. He told Newsweek last year that Democrats faced “an epidemic right now of feeling like you don’t belong,” arguing the problem “hits young men hardest.”
