President Donald Trump made sweeping claims about Democratic candidates during a press conference at the White House, according to Mediaite. He was responding to a question about the type of candidates Democrats are putting forward ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
“We have jihadists being elected all over the place,” Trump said. The president did not name any specific politicians when he made the statement. His comment came about a week after he criticized Abdul El-Sayed, a Muslim candidate who won Michigan‘s Democratic Senate primary.
