El-Sayed Faces Bipartisan Backlash in Key U.S. Senate Race over Far-Left Ties

El-Sayed said he has been in contact with Jeremy Moss and urged Democrats to unite after Hasan Piker's comments drew criticism.

  • Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed faces scrutiny over ties to controversial streamer Hasan Piker, whose recent remarks about Israel and Jewish Americans drew condemnation this week.
  • Republican Mike Rogers blasted El-Sayed over the affiliation, calling it disqualifying, while U.S. Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pennsylvania, criticized the relationship as a 'buddy movie about defending Hamas' on Wednesday.
  • State Sen. Jeremy Moss, the Democratic nominee in Michigan's 11th Congressional District, rejected Piker's criticism, stating he 'will not be lectured by a California podcaster' on Jewish community beliefs.
  • Dismissing the controversy, El-Sayed told CBS News Detroit he has 'no plans' to campaign with Piker, prioritizing discussions on gas, groceries, and healthcare instead.
  • With 27 days until absentee ballots go out in the Great Lakes State, recent polling shows El-Sayed leading Rogers 45.8% to 45%, making this race one of the nation's most competitive.
