Vance calls El-Sayed ‘very, very evil’
Vance accused the Democratic Senate nominee of divisive rhetoric and defended his wife after El-Sayed’s remarks drew backlash online.
- On Monday, United States Vice President JD Vance attacked Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed during a Sterling Heights rally, demanding he "keep my wife's name out of your mouth" regarding recent comments about his family.
- Tensions escalated after El-Sayed questioned whether Vance's Appalachian grandfather would approve of his interracial marriage to Second Lady Usha Vance, comments interpreted as referencing her Indian heritage and Hindu background.
- Second Lady Usha Vance later addressed the jibe on Fox & Friends, saying she "kind of laughed," while El-Sayed had speculated in an April podcast that she resents her husband's rhetoric, saying "Damn, I have to sleep with him."
- El-Sayed responded by suggesting Vance return to his home state of Ohio, claiming the state welcomes the vice president's "hypocritical type of politicking" rather than focus on Michigan residents.
- With control of the United States Senate at stake, the Michigan Senate race emerges as a key contest, with recent polling showing El-Sayed holding a narrow lead over Republican Mike Rogers.
