Michigan Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed criticized Trump’s trade war with Canada, while his election victory drew mixed responses from Jewish leaders and Jewish Democrats in the state.
Steven Ingber, chief executive of the Jewish Federation of Detroit, told Fox News Digital that the organization would work with those elected. “We congratulate all the winners, and we will work with all the winners,” he said. Ingber said Jewish voters were not uniform in their political choices and that the federation, as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, cannot endorse candidates. Some Jewish leaders and Democrats expressed optimism and a willingness to work with El-Sayed, Fox News reported, while others said they still had concerns.
