> US Vice-President JD Vance called Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed “a very, very evil” person while campaigning for Trump ally Mike Rogers. Vance accused El-Sayed of being divisive and warned him not to mention his wife, while El-Sayed later answered by calling the Trump administration’s policies “evil.” The race has quickly become marked by personal attacks and insults.
