Vice President JD Vance sharpened his attacks against Abdul el Sayed on Tuesday, accusing the Michigan Democratic Senate nominee of lying about his background and questioning his attachment to his home state.
Vance criticized el Sayed during a rally Tuesday in Howell, Michigan, for claiming to be “an immigrant from North Africa,” though he was born in the Detroit suburb of Rochester Hills.
“We have to understand what happens when our nation gives in to these kinds of people, to young men with zero attachment to its land or to its history, with a man who would lie, who is so ashamed of this state that he would lie about being an immigrant from another continent,” the vice president told a crowd in Howell, Michigan.
Vance also stressed the importance of sovereignty, a theme that started underscoring during campaign rallies in Kansas and Montana earlier this week.
“We have got, my friends, a critical battle in this war to regain American sovereignty, to return the government, and to keep it in the hands of the people it should belong to, and that’s in just a week, because we know that in one week we have an opportunity to vote for three Michigan patriots who are fighting for you,” he said on Tuesday.
Vance also defended President Donald Trump’s administration and Republicans about Iran and high gas prices.

But what’s different, what’s different about this country’s and this leadership’s agenda, and what’s different about the Democrats, is that the Democrats talk about high gas prices, even though their policies have made us more vulnerable to the foreign despots in the first place.”
One week before Election Day, el Sayed and his opponent, Mike Rogers, are in a margin-of-error race, with el Sayed, on average, having a 2.5-percentage-point edge, according to RealClearPolitics.
