> Donald Trump claims Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed hates Jews and Israel. El-Sayed, who would become the first Muslim senator if elected, has rejected accusations of antisemitism. He said his commitment to Jewish safety is equal to his commitment to the safety of his own daughters. The remarks come as the Michigan Senate contest draws scrutiny over the allegation.
