- On Saturday, Vice President JD Vance attacked Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed during a Fox News interview, calling him "crazy" and arguing he "would be a terrible senator" for Michigan.
- A months-long feud between the two intensified after El-Sayed defeated Rep. Haley Stevens in Tuesday's primary, following an April podcast where El-Sayed attacked the Vice President's family.
- Vance argued El-Sayed opposes "policies that have quite literally saved the Michigan auto industry" and wants to "tax some people" to fund Democratic Party-favored groups rather than rebuild middle-class prosperity.
- El-Sayed responded by calling Vance "Peter Thiel's boy" and accusing him of seeking to "suck up to power," dismissing his recent remarks as less coherent than his book "Hillbilly Elegy."
- The Cook Political Report classifies the November general election as a toss-up; GOP candidate Mike Rogers lost by less than 20,000 votes to Sen. Elissa Slotkin in 2024 for the seat being vacated by retiring Sen. Gary Peters.
