Summarized from The Jerusalem Post by baba
During the final Michigan Senate debate, Republican Mike Rogers claimed that Jewish Democrats are "literally afraid" of his opponent, Abdul El-Sayed, due to his "extreme" rhetoric. Rogers also reiterated accusations of El-Sayed's family ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. El-Sayed, in turn, criticized Rogers as an "AIPAC-backed politician" and discussed the threat posed by Iran. Both campaigns have intensified outreach to Jewish voters, though some remain skeptical of El-Sayed.
