El-Sayed answers Trump's name attacks at final Detroit theater rally

Abdul El-Sayed used his final campaign event at a downtown Detroit theater on Monday to answer President Donald Trump's attacks on his name, EL PAÍS reported on November 3. The Democratic nominee is contesting Michigan's U.S. Senate seat against Republican Mike Rogers.

El-Sayed told supporters that Trump did not need to know his name and could call him senator after the election. The report describes the event as the last of 600 campaign appearances.

EL PAÍS places the contest in the wider debate about progressive policies and Muslim representation. It describes El-Sayed's support for universal health care and curbs on corporate influence, alongside attacks on his identity and the dispute over Haley Stevens's endorsement of Rogers.
