Michigan senate candidate struggles to affirm israel's right to exist

Democratic senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed told supporters at a campaign event that he struggles to answer whether Israel has a right to exist as a Jewish state.

El-Sayed made the comments at a “Jews for Abdul” event in Pontiac, Michigan, last week. In leaked audio obtained by Jewish Insider, he said he often struggles with the question because it forces a definition of what a Jewish state means. He added that those asking should explain how their view aligns with liberal values in the United States.

A Farmington Public Schools board member was criticized online after video circulated of her urging Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed not to speak Arabic or use Arabic music at campaign events. The episode unfolded the same day Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer endorsed El-Sayed’s rival, U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens, ahead of Michigan’s Aug. 4 Democratic primary.

Political commentator Clay Travis suggested that Michigan Republicans cross over to vote for Abdul El-Sayed in the Democratic Senate primary. He argues that El-Sayed, described as a far-left radical, cannot win in November and would pave the way for Republican Mike Rogers. Critics warn against this primary meddling strategy.
