Trump calls Abdul el Sayed 'a Communist loser who hates Jews' after Michigan primary win

Washington Examiner · back to the audit

President Donald Trump blasted Democrat Abdul el Sayed after he clinched victory in the Michigan Senate Democratic primary on Wednesday morning.

Trump: "El-Sayed, a Communist loser who hates Jews and Israel, is the projected winner in his race with the Socialist"

Trump: "Great news for the Republican Party,"

Trump: "As usual, the Polls were way off on this one,"

Trump: "She was not expected to do nearly as well as she did. Now, the Dumocrats crazy policies will only get worse!"

The margin was 48.5% to 47.5% with 99% of votes counted. El Sayed defeated "the establishment candidate backed by pro-Israel groups and endorsed by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer." Trump "framed the win as helpful to GOP Senate control efforts and slammed pre-primary polling." He "previously branded New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani a communist." El Sayed "embraced and campaigned with" Hasan Piker.
