US President Donald Trump has criticized Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan’s Senate election over visits to mosques during his campaign.
Trump alleged that El-Sayed sought signatures for his candidacy at what he called radical mosques.
The president also alleged that speakers at those mosques had described the United States as an abode of Satan. He did not provide detailed evidence for the allegation or responses from the institutions.
El-Sayed attended a Ramadan event at the Islamic Center of Detroit in March 2026. He appealed to attendees for signatures needed to qualify for Michigan’s Democratic primary, according to a video reviewed by Just the News.
The Middle East Forum, a research organization, published speeches and videos from religious events at several Islamic institutions in Michigan.
The organization alleged that some speakers at those institutions described the United States as an abode of Satan and made retaliatory remarks about Israel and Zionists.
Those remarks were attributed to the speakers, not to El-Sayed.
El-Sayed’s campaign did not comment to Just the News about the allegations. He has denied allegations that his family has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood or extremist Islamist movements.
