This story is from the archive. It was covered between 15 October 2026 and 15 October 2026, and nothing below has been updated since. See what is happening now.

Trump called Abdul El-Sayed "100% Muslim Brotherhood" as posts by the battleground Senate candidate's half-sister come under fresh scrutiny.

What the coverage shows

Most outlets center on Trump’s response to Ken Paxton’s difficult Texas Senate position, with Politico, CNBC and Axios all naming John Cornyn and Karl Rove as the people he blames or singles out. CNBC adds that polls show Paxton trailing James Talarico, while Axios frames Trump as preemptively assigning blame if Paxton loses. Fox News and the AP diverge from that Texas focus and instead spotlight Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed, with Fox emphasizing Trump’s attack on his Muslim Brotherhood ties and the AP focusing on Republicans going after his name.
