During a recent rally, Republican Vice President JD Vance described Abdul El-Sayed, a Muslim Democrat seeking a U.S. Senate seat in Michigan, as "very, very evil," claiming he supported terrorism due to his comments following a March attack on a Detroit-area synagogue.
In Texas, Republican Governor Greg Abbott, currently in a tight re-election contest, targeted a planned Muslim-led real estate project and requested an inquiry into alleged attempts to set up "sharia courts", a claim denied by both civil rights advocates and the developers.
