Vice President JD Vance ripped the Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed during a Monday visit to a Detroit suburb. Vance ripped El-Sayed for insinuating that the vice president’s late grandfather might have disapproved of his marriage to Second Lady Usha Vance, an Indian-American Hindu.

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.

Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El Sayed asked on social media whether JD Vance would have ever introduced his wife to his grandfather.
