Trump misnames Muslim senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed ‘Mohammed’

US President Donald Trump misnamed Muslim candidate for the US Senate Abdul El-Sayed on Thursday, calling him Mohammed and baselessly accusing him of being a “Terrorist Sympathiser”. El-Sayed, an Arab American running for a Michigan senate seat that could decide which party wins the US upper chamber

What the coverage shows

Both outlets center on Trump and Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed, but the South China Morning Post foregrounds Trump misnaming him as “Mohammed” and adding a “Terrorist Sympathiser” charge, while CNN instead frames the story around El-Sayed challenging Trump to come to Michigan. The SCMP is the only outlet here to mention the misnaming and the broader Senate context, and CNN is the only one to highlight El-Sayed’s taunt, his race with Mike Rogers, and his prediction of a seven-point win.
