PoliticsAs Trump escalates extreme attacks, Democrats finally rally around El-Sayed

The Democratic establishment is backing Abdul El-Sayed, its progressive candidate in Michigan’s closely watched Senate race, after Donald Trump and allies attacked him. Trump falsely called him a “jihadist” and a “Muslim Brotherhood member.” Bernie Sanders, Barack Obama and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have appeared with him, marking a shift after a bitter primary split. Polls cited in the report give El-Sayed a narrow lead over Republican Mike Rogers.
