A leaked recording of Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed telling campaign staff he wanted to avoid commenting on the assassination of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei — because "there are a lot of people in Dearborn who are sad" — has intensified a volatile primary race in one of the most competitive Senate seats of 2026. The audio, obtained by the Washington Free Beacon, reveals not just a candidate's private messaging strategy but the broader tensions within the Democratic Party over Iran, the war, and how to hold together a coalition that includes both hawkish moderates and an antiwar Muslim-American base.
