Democrat Abdul El-Sayed hits Trump where it hurts after president mocks his name

  • Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed mocked President Donald Trump during a town hall over the president's deliberate mispronunciation of his name and his reliance on White House aide Natalie Harp.
  • El-Sayed joined other Democrats, including Sen. Jon Ossoff and Rep. Debbie Dingell, in publicly ridiculing Harp's prominent role in Trump's daily routine.
  • At the Farmington Hills event, El-Sayed criticized Trump's proposed 50 percent tariffs on Canadian exports, arguing that the trade policy is driven by ego and will hurt consumers.
  • El-Sayed warned voters that his Republican opponent in the November Senate race, Mike Rogers, would rubber-stamp Trump's economic policies without pushback.
  • The town hall appearance followed El-Sayed's viral Fox News interview with Jesse Watters, where he defended healthcare privacy during a debate over gender-affirming care.
