  "account": "Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed has asked Vice President JD Vance to stop mentioning his wife Usha’s name. This request came after El-Sayed used Usha’s name in a social media post, referencing Vance’s comments on his late grandfather. Vance made the remarks at a rally in Michigan, campaigning for Republican Senate nominee Mike Rogers. During the rally, Vance criticized El-Sayed’s policy positions and accused him of focusing on divisive issues rather than policy. He also claimed voters were more interested in substance than personal attacks. El-Sayed defended his use of Usha’s name, stating he was challenging the notion that some Americans have a stronger claim to belonging based on their families’ long residency. Usha Vance dismissed the comment, noting she had never met Vance’s grandparents but had strong ties to Vance’s extended family.",
