President Donald Trump is intensifying his anti-Muslim rhetoric against Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed. He portrayed him during a Sunday rally in Port Huron as a threat to national security and questioned his loyalty to the United States. The remarks drew a sharp rebuke from a former top Arab American ally. Bishara Bahbah, a founder of Arab Americans for Trump, said the president's comments were racist. El-Sayed, who could become the nation’s first Muslim senator, faces Republican Mike Rogers in one of the races that will help determine control of the U.S. Senate in this year's midterms.

Police say a shooting in Columbus, Ohio, was not an attack on a mosque but did happen nearby. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives originally said Monday afternoon in a post on X that federal agents were responding to a report of a shooting at a mosque. But police later said the shooting happened in the parking lot of an apartment complex next to the mosque. They say one person was killed in the shooting. The area includes a cluster of two-story apartment buildings, in addition to a mosque.
Michigan’s closely contested Senate race has become deeply personal for some voters. In Detroit’s suburbs, Jewish Democrats are questioning whether they can support Democrat Abdul El-Sayed who'd be the nation’s first Muslim senator if elected on Nov. 3. In nearby Dearborn, Arab American voters are growing alarmed by increasingly heated Republican rhetoric. Republican nominee Mike Rogers has portrayed El-Sayed as an extremist and a threat to Jewish voters. Rogers is trying to win over a traditionally Democratic constituency. Tensions are already high because of Israel’s war in Gaza that followed Hamas' attack on Israel. And for some voters, the Senate race is raising difficult questions about faith, identity and political loyalty.
