Donald Trump branded Abdul El-Sayed a 'Communist loser who hates Jews and Israel' on Wednesday, even as the President hailed the progressive's razor-thin Michigan Senate primary win as 'Great news for the Republican Party.'
Republicans have not won a Michigan Senate race since 1994, though Rogers came within a whisker of beating Elissa Slotkin in 2024.
This year's Senate primary in Michigan was defined by a pair of candidates representing opposite poles of their party.
But he'll also need to win over 47 percent of Michigan Democrats who voted against him.
During the primary, El-Sayed has vowed to 'stand up to greedy landlords and corporate profiteers' and to campaign for 'Medicare for All', though his wife's psychiatric practice accepts only out-of-pocket payments.
