President Donald Trump addressed a large crowd during a campaign rally in Port Huron, Michigan, on Sunday. At this event, he directed strong criticism towards Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed. Trump repeatedly referred to El-Sayed, an epidemiologist, as a ‘jihadist.’
Trump urged thousands of his supporters to oppose El-Sayed, drawing a parallel to the national response to terrorists following the September 11 attacks. El-Sayed is attempting to make history as the first Muslim senator in the United States.
