Trump demands metal detectors for Abdul El-Sayed at US capitol as he spew attacks at Democrat during rally
Abdul El-Sayed is slightly ahead of his Republican opponent Mike Rogers in a tight race for the Senate in Michigan
What the coverage shows
The outlets mostly converge on Obama appearing with Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan and on the race being tight enough to make Black voters in Detroit a key audience. NBC News is the clearest about the rally being aimed at shoring up support with Black voters, while Fox News emphasizes that undecided Black voters were not swayed and frames the event around concerns over Black support. The Associated Press is the most minimal, only noting that Obama rallied with El-Sayed, and The Independent is the only one to mention a lead for El-Sayed in the race.
