  "account": "Michigan state Senator Jeremy Moss was in talks to endorse his party's Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed before a recent controversy derailed those plans. The setback came after left-wing streamer Hasan Piker made controversial remarks about El-Sayed's association with Piker, likening it to a \"scourge\" of antisemitism. El-Sayed's Republican opponent seized on the situation, criticizing El-Sayed for failing to disavow his running mate.",
  "summary": "Democratic congressional nominee Jeremy Moss, who is Jewish, instead released a statement criticizing the Senate hopeful.",
