## Summary

Senator Ted Cruz warned that Americans could die if Abdul El-Sayed wins Michigan’s Senate race, arguing that election to the Senate would give El-Sayed access to the highest level of security clearance. Cruz framed the contest as a national security issue and predicted that a victory could help Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez become the Democratic presidential nominee in 2028.

El-Sayed has said he “absolutely” disavows the Muslim Brotherhood, which Cruz alleged he supports. A poll cited in the article put El-Sayed about six percentage points ahead of Republican Mike Rogers, with momentum among independent and younger voters. El-Sayed’s spokesman criticised Cruz over his record on healthcare, while Cruz cautioned Republicans against assuming that an Ocasio-Cortez nomination would guarantee them victory.
