‘My Name Is Abdul’: El-Sayed Confronts Trump’s Racist, Anti-Muslim Attacks Head-On in New Ad

In his latest campaign ad released late Monday, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic US Senate candidate in Michigan, struck a resilient and matter-of-fact tone that suggested the recent racist attacks on him, his Arabic name, and his Muslim faith are no secret—but he has no plans to try to hide his identity to appease Republicans and Democrats who have claimed he’s an “extremist” or accused him of terrorist ties.

Trump’s MAGA Pals Push Sinister Martial Law Plot

Tina Peters, a prominent MAGA election activist, met with Trump in October. She was convicted in 2024 of crimes tied to a breach of election equipment, then freed this year after Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, a Democrat, commuted her sentence. Peters and her attorney, Peter Ticktin, also visited Trump at the White House in late June.

Ticktin, who is Trump’s childhood friend, was among the speakers on a Sept. 30 video call for MAGA election activists streamed on Rumble. They warned of widespread election security breaches they believe will hit in November, and they urgently pushed for remedies.

The Supporters Urging Trump to Declare Martial Law for the Midterms

(September 23, 2026)

The way Ticktin sees it, there are three possible outcomes this fall. The first—a smooth election—won’t happen in his view because, he claims without evidence, Democrats already cheated in the primaries. The second is that Trump takes action before the election to prevent cheating. The last option is that Trump tries to declare martial law on or around November 3. “Either martial law, or step aside,” he told us about Trump’s choices in the last scenario. When we asked about the prospect of riots if Trump tries to overturn the election results, Ticktin said he was not concerned. “Believe me, our armed forces are a lot bigger than they are,” he said.

Gas Prices and the 2026 Midterms

(March 26, 2026)

Few economic indicators hit voters as fast or as visibly as the price of gasoline. Academic research stretching back decades confirms what political operatives have long understood intuitively: when gas prices rise sharply, presidential approval falls, and when approval falls heading into a midterm, the president’s party loses seats. That chain is being tested dramatically right now.

Gas Prices Could Cost Republicans the Midterms

(September 14, 2026)

If Democrats manage to take back the House and Senate in November despite an inhospitable electoral map, the Trump effect on gas prices may well be the reason.

Republicans put spotlight on Abdul El-Sayed. He welcomes the fight

The exchanges captured two sides of a candidate who is the central figure in one of the nation’s most consequential Senate races. El-Sayed would be the country’s first Muslim senator, and he’s crisscrossing the state to counter a Republican effort, fueled by tens of millions of dollars, to portray him as a dangerous radical. But he has also embraced his confrontational side by mocking and taunting Trump and Rogers.

“If they want to make me the main character in the midterms, I’m not shying away from it,” El-Sayed said in an interview. “Run against me. See how well that works out for you.”

“I Can Call Him Whatever the Hell I Want”: Trump Misnames Michigan Senate Candidate Abdul El-Sayed

During a rally in Tennessee on Saturday, President Trump repeatedly misnamed Michigan’s Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El‑Sayed as “Mohammed,” calling him a “jihadist.”

President Donald Trump: “Like Mohammed El-Sayed — I call him Mohammed. Somebody said, ‚His name isn‘t Mohammed; it’s Abdul.’ I said, ‚To me, it‘s Mohammed.’ I’m the president. I can call him whatever the hell I want. To me, he’s Mohammed, and he’s a radical jihadist.”

JOINT DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP STATEMENT ON THE RAID ON ILHAN OMAR’S HOME

(October 12, 2026)

Today, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Whip Katherine Clark and Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar issued the following statement:

The Trump administration’s raid on Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s home is deeply disturbing and raises serious questions about the continued corrupt weaponization of the federal government against Donald Trump’s adversaries.

For years, Donald Trump and far-right extremists have relentlessly targeted Congresswoman Omar with vile personal attacks and baseless accusations. Now, less than 30 days until the midterm election, his violent mass deportation machine has descended upon the home of a duly elected Member of Congress and her family.

The American people deserve transparency, and we will deliver full accountability for the rogue abuse of power from the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Justice.

Democrat rips ‘insanely corrupt’ raid on Omar’s home

Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va.) slammed the federal raid on Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-Minn.) home as “insanely corrupt” in a post on social media Monday.

“As [President] Trump’s popularity craters amid rising prices and his deeply unpopular war, everything he does is an attempt to distract his remaining followers,” Beyer wrote in a post on the social platform X.

“But raiding the home of a member of the opposing party right before the election – and tipping off FoxNews in advance so they are on hand to publicize it – is insanely corrupt even for Donald Trump,” he added.

Office of Rep. Ilhan Omar Statement on DHS Raid

The Office of Congresswoman Omar released the following statement following the DHS raid on her home.

“This raid by Trump’s DHS is an outrageous abuse of power and an unprecedented escalation in the weaponization of federal law enforcement to target political enemies. For a decade, Donald Trump has relentlessly targeted Congresswoman Ilhan Omar with inflammatory rhetoric, repeatedly putting a target on her back. Now, those attacks have escalated to a pointless federal raid. The Congresswoman has done nothing wrong. No president should be able to use the power of the federal government to intimidate his political enemies.”

‘He’s Desperate’: AIPAC Begins Spending Against Abdul El-Sayed to Boost Mike Rogers

A campaign finance report filed on Friday revealed that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s super PAC, the United Democracy Project, has resumed spending on Michigan’s US Senate race, dropping $95,000 on mailers opposing Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed in a bid to help Republican Mike Rogers weeks ahead of the key midterm contest.

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) report came a day after Rogers and El-Sayed clashed on the debate stage over healthcare, drug prices, military assistance to Israel, and other issues. Asked during the debate whether he would accept AIPAC’s support in the race, Rogers said, “Anybody that wants to help my campaign stop [El-Sayed]… I’ll take all of that help.”
