Trump escalates anti-Muslim attacks against El-Sayed in Michigan

President Trump intensified his anti-Muslim rhetoric against Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed on Sunday, portraying him as a threat to national security and questioning his loyalty to the United States.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets frame the story around Trump’s Islamophobic remarks at a Michigan rally and their connection to a tight Senate race. The New York Times is more explicit about the quoted language, saying Trump contended that Abdul El-Sayed would “invite hordes of jihadis to our shores,” while NBC News more generally says he leaned into Islamophobic rhetoric and attacked El-Sayed. Only the Times also says Trump was seeking to bolster the GOP candidate.
