Abdul El-Sayed, a Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate, criticized President Donald Trump’s handling of economic matters. His remarks followed comments by Vice President JD Vance that intensified the heated Michigan Senate race.

Speaking at a rally in Detroit on August 7, El-Sayed attributed a recent global bond sell-off to Trump’s policy decisions. According to El-Sayed, traders are reacting to what he calls Trump’s ‘war of choice’ and trade policies, which he claims are driving up costs. El-Sayed accuses Trump of pressuring the Federal Reserve to act against its interests, contributing to rising inflation.
