Senator Ted Cruz has issued a dire warning to voters, stating there is a "very real risk that Americans will die" should Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed be elected to the U.S. Senate in Michigan. Speaking at a get-out-the-vote event with Michigan Republican Senate nominee Mike Rogers in Grosse Pointe Woods, Cruz asserted that an El-Sayed victory would bypass security clearance processes, potentially placing individuals with alleged ties to the Muslim Brotherhood in positions of high security clearance.
"If I am correct that he is a passionate supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood, there is a very real risk that Americans will die as a result," Cruz told the assembled crowd. El-Sayed has repeatedly disavowed any connection to the Muslim Brotherhood.
Cruz emphasized the national importance of the Michigan contest, stating "the eyes of the country are on Michigan." He outlined a scenario where El-Sayed could be appointed to key national security committees within the Senate.
A new MISEN poll indicates El-Sayed leads Rogers by approximately six percentage points, with the Democratic candidate reportedly gaining momentum among independent voters and young people as Election Day nears.
El-Sayed's campaign spokesman, Cole Wozniak, criticized Cruz as a "deeply unpopular politician who has long supported policies that hurt Michigan families, including voting to cut healthcare."
Beyond the immediate Senate race, Cruz also projected broader electoral implications, predicting that an El-Sayed victory would pave the way for Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's presidential bid in 2028. "I believe if El-Sayed wins, the Democrat nominee for president in 2028 will be AOC," Cruz declared, characterizing the potential Democratic nominee as a "complete moonbat."
Ocasio-Cortez has openly supported El-Sayed, and her potential 2028 presidential aspirations have been noted by various political figures, including Vice President JD Vance. Cruz cautioned against complacency among conservatives, suggesting that a divided country could make a Republican victory in 2028 uncertain, even with a progressive Democratic nominee.
"For those who think, well, good, if they nominate AOC, that means Republicans win in '28, I just want to warn you, we're a divided country," Cruz stated, drawing parallels to unexpected shifts in political landscapes.
The Michigan Senate race has become a significant national battleground, attracting prominent surrogates from both parties. President Donald Trump and Senator Cruz have campaigned for Rogers, while Democrats, including former Vice President Kamala Harris, Senator Bernie Sanders, and former President Barack Obama, have supported El-Sayed.
