Outlets agree that Trump criticized Abdul El-Sayed after El-Sayed won Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary.

Center outlets report Trump’s attacks alongside El-Sayed’s replies and policy positions, with one article focusing on attacks on his Muslim identity. Right-leaning outlets emphasize Trump’s claims that Democrats embrace communism and, in one account, criticism of television hosts who defended El-Sayed.
