What to know

  • Trump and Rogers have made alleged Muslim Brotherhood ties a central line of attack against Democrat Abdul El-Sayed less than two weeks before Michigan's Nov. 3 Senate vote.
  • Analysts say the strategy targets Jewish and Black Detroit-area voters who backed El-Sayed's primary rival Haley Stevens.
  • Rogers publicly split from Trump's 'jihadist'/'terrorist' language on Meet the Press while still pressing the Brotherhood allegations himself.
  • El-Sayed denies any personal or family ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and says the attacks question his loyalty because of his Muslim faith.

“It is not how he prays, it's how he thinks.”
