'You Are White Supremacist if…': Vance Torches El-Sayed for Sharia Law Remarks |Michigan Senate Race

Vance said El-Sayed’s remarks show Democrats have drifted from workers, as he tied the Michigan Senate race to criticism over Sharia law.

  • On Friday, Vice President JD Vance attacked Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed at the Cleveland-Cliffs Middletown Works in Ohio, falsely claiming El-Sayed supports implementing Sharia law in the United States.
  • Vance's attacks centered on El-Sayed's 2022 remarks regarding State Question 755, arguing these comments proved the Democratic Party has abandoned its working-class roots and union identity.
  • El-Sayed's 2022 comments referenced the 2010 ballot measure State Question 755, which sought to ban courts from considering Sharia law; the candidate explicitly opposes incorporating faith laws into the United States legal system.
  • Responding on Saturday, El-Sayed dismissed the vice president's claims as a "misguided attempt to distract" from the Trump administration's failings, emphasizing his belief in separation of church and state.
  • This high-stakes Michigan Senate contest between El-Sayed and Republican Mike Rogers remains critical for Senate control, with Vance's attack highlighting perceived ideological divisions within the Democratic Party.
