Michigan Senate Race: Pro-El-Sayed Ad Blaming Grocery Prices on Israel Aid Sparks Outcry

A campaign advertisement sponsored by a political action committee led by Cenk Uygur in support of Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed has sparked accusations of antisemitism, JNS and Israel National News reported. The advertisement linked rising grocery prices in the United States to American aid sent to Israel.

Following the backlash, El-Sayed's campaign distanced itself from the advertisement but stopped short of issuing an explicit condemnation. In response, the group Democrats for Mike Rogers sharply criticized the candidate, stating that his failure to condemn the ad was disqualifying. Further details have not yet been released.
