INTRO: Voters in Michigan will decide in less than a week whether to elect Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed (awb-DOOL’ el-SIGH’-yedd) or Republican candidate Mike Rogers to the Senate. Speaking at a campaign event in Kalamazoo, Michigan … El-Sayed pushes back against Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior … who said earlier this week during a campaign event for Rogers that Arabs “don’t produce” science or literature, or win major awards.
ACK: Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed (awb-DOOL el-SIGH-yedd)
TAG: The health secretary has faced widespread backlash for the comments … with critics calling them bigoted, as well as inaccurate.
KEYWORD: Politics, Election
