He is up against Mike Rogers, the Republican candidate. El-Sayed has often spoken about Israel and Gaza, slamming the right wing and JD Vance. During a rally in Michigan on Thursday, October 15, Vance slammed El-Sayed, saying:"Now, my friends, this is why Abdul is obsessed, and I mean absolutely obsessed with conflicts occurring thousands of miles away in the Middle East. He is obsessed with the state of Israel and with Gaza.""He's 10 times more interested in what's happening in Palestine than in Port Huron, and is way more interested in what's happening in Gaza than he is in what's happening in Grand Rapids," he added.Journalist Mehdi Hasan took a dig at Vance for this statement and wrote on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday:"But Vance is the one whose administration literally STARTED a conflict thousands of miles away in the Middle East - and got Americans killed in the process. Beyond. Parody."Vance, meanwhile, also slammed Abdul El-Sayed for his comments about the attack on a Michigan synagogue in March this year. A man named Ayman Mohammad Ghazali had rammed his car into Temple Israel synagogue in a Detroit suburb, and opened fire before dying by suicide. Notably, Ghazali had lost four relatives in an Israeli airstrike before his attack. Abdul El-Sayed had then said that “hurt people hurt people”. However, he faced major backlash and later apologized for his comments.

Evil is making people pay more for groceries and gas while pushing for trade wars and actual war. Evil is dividing people for your own gain. Evil is selling out your morals for a little bit of power.”Abdul El-Sayed also made a comment about JD Vance's wife, Usha Vance, who is an Indian American. The couple slammed his comments, with their supporters calling them racist. Also Read: What did Abdul El-Sayed say about Obama? NBC’s Kristen Welker questions Michigan Democrat about past criticism
