  "account": "President Donald Trump urged Michigan voters at a Sunday campaign rally to oppose Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, accusing him of being a Muslim extremist linked to the 9/11 attackers. Trump compared El-Sayed to the 9/11 hijackers and stated that if El-Sayed were elected, he would be the first Muslim senator, implying he would require a metal detector to enter the Capitol. El-Sayed has denied any affiliation with the Muslim Brotherhood, describing Rogers' allegations as \"shameful.\" This push to link El-Sayed to extremism adds to the already competitive Senate race in Michigan, one of the few battleground states in the 2024 midterm elections.",
  "summary": "\"I'm here to keep a jihadist, Muslim Brotherhood member from becoming a United States senator,\" Trump told a receptive audience in Port Huron, Michigan.",
