The Story
Republican US Senate candidate Mike Rogers and allies including President Donald Trump are escalating their efforts to tie Democratic rival Abdul El-Sayedto the Muslim Brotherhood less than two weeks before the Nov 3 midterms, with Trump falsely branding him a jihadist.Pollsters and political strategists say the approach is aimed at dissuading Jewish and Black voters in the Detroit area who backed El-Sayed’s primary opponent, Haley Stevens, from getting behind the Democratic nominee in the closing days of the Senate campaign in Michigan.It gives them even more reason to pause and not vote
