6 OUTLETS
Abdul El-Sayed Asked Whether Israel or Iran Is a Greater Threat to the U.S.

Coverage centers on a Michigan Senate debate in which Abdul El-Sayed said Israel and Iran had both proved dangerous, without naming one as the greater threat to the U.S. Center outlets present the exchange as part of a broader dispute with Mike Rogers over Israel, Iran, military aid and diplomacy, alongside separate reporting on El-Sayed's campaign outreach. Right-leaning outlets emphasize his response to the threat question and portray it critically, including as a failure to answer directly.
