- Source selection — The article centers El-Sayed’s interview and includes no response from Vance or Rogers.
Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed mocked Vice President JD Vance and rival Mike Rogers during a television interview, using nicknames and arguing Republicans are avoiding issues such as prices and health care.
Appearing on MS NOW’s “The Beat,” Abdul El-Sayed responded to a montage of Republicans criticizing him by calling Vice President JD Vance “Low-T JD.” He said the attacks were meant to distract from issues facing voters, including gas and grocery prices and the Trump family’s business dealings.
El-Sayed also called his Republican rival Mike Rogers “Meek” Rogers, arguing Rogers had not spoken out against President Donald Trump’s policies. El-Sayed said he would focus on getting money out of politics and passing Medicare for All.
