Vice President JD Vance slammed Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed for commenting on Second Lady Usha Vance and said Usha is way out of El-Sayed's league and the Michigan leader should keep Usha Vance's name out of his mouth. El-Sayed recently suggested that Vance's papaw (grandfather) would not have approved of Vance's marriage to Indian-origin Usha.

Abdul El-Sayed’s racially insensitive comment aimed at Usha Vance backfires, risking support from Michigan's Indian-American and female voters.

El-Sayed said Piker’s comments are often taken out of context.
