The Muslim Brotherhood's official website has published an article celebrating Abdul El-Sayed's Michigan Senate primary victory, reportedly declaring: 'Abdul Rahman al-Sayyid conquers the Zionists and runs for the Senate.' El-Sayed, a progressive Democrat who refuses to recognize Israel's right to exist, won the primary on Aug. 5, 2026, defeating pro-Israel incumbent Haley Stevens.
The article on the Muslim Brotherhood's site frames El-Sayed's victory as a blow to Zionist influence in American politics. El-Sayed has faced criticism for his associations with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which the UAE and several U.S. states have designated as a terrorist entity. Fox News reported that El-Sayed's campaign received over $115,000 from CAIR-linked donors. As The Zioneer reported, El-Sayed's primary win marked a significant shift in the Democratic Party's candidate profile in a key swing state. The Muslim Brotherhood's public celebration of a U.S. Senate candidate is rare and underscores concerns about the influence of Islamist movements in American electoral politics.
