Trump targets El-Sayed, suggests voter irregularities after Michigan primary
President Donald Trump criticized Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, calling him a 'Communist' and alleging widespread voter fraud in Wayne County without evidence. El-Sayed advanced to the Democratic nomination after a narrow primary victory over Rep. Haley Stevens, while the Department of Justice announced plans to send poll watchers to monitor voting in Detroit and other areas. Trump claimed Republicans would face 'fake mail-in ballots' in the November election.
