Trump accuses El-Sayed, who is running for Senate from Michigan, of being a 'violent jihadist'

US President Donald Trump spoke to the press before leaving the White House to support the Republicans' election efforts in Florida.

Answering questions about the midterm elections to be held on November 3 across the country, Trump said of Michigan's Democratic Senate candidate El-Sayed, "He is a ruthless, violent jihadist." he said.

Trump claimed that El-Sayed had no place in the US administration.

Referring to El-Sayed's Muslim identity to convince voters in Michigan, Trump said, "Actually, his middle name is Muhammad. Do you know this? His name is Abdul Muhammad. He is a fraud. We cannot give place to completely fraudsters and fraudsters, you cannot." he said.

Trump clearly stated that he did not want to see El-Sayed in the US Congress, saying, "Can you imagine this man? He was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, he probably still is." he said.

"Republicans will win, but if there is a stalemate, I will veto everything."

On the other hand, Donald Trump, who shared his belief that they would win the midterm elections, signaled that otherwise he would use the "veto" trump card.

Trump said, "I think the Republicans will win, but if there's a stalemate, I'll veto everything, then the Democrats come and want to make a deal. We'll get it done." he said.

"If you look at history, if a situation like this happens, you veto, you veto, then they come and say 'how do we handle this' and you make a deal," the US President said. he said.
