DETROIT (The Thursday Times) — US Sadr Donald Trump ne polling day ke ibtidai ghanton mein Michigan ke Democrat Abdul El-Sayed par phir hamla kiya aur post kiya ke "sirf bewaqoof" hi us shakhs ko vote denge jo US Senate ke liye muntakhab hone wale pehle Muslim ban sakte hain.
"Abdul El-Sayed yahoodiyon se nafrat karta hai aur siyah fam logon se nafrat karta hai. Bura mat manein, woh gore logon se bhi nafrat karta hai," Trump ne Truth Social par likha aur daawa kiya ke El-Sayed "100% aap ka kaam tamam kar dega!" Unhon ne koi saboot pesh nahin kiya. Trump ne akhri hafte unhein "jihadist" kehte hue guzare hain.
Yeh post us ke chand ghante baad aayi jab Democrat congresswoman Haley Stevens ne, jinhon ne Itwar ko El-Sayed ko chhor kar un ke Republican hareef ka saath diya, apne faisle ki sab se mufassil wazahat di. "Mike Rogers aur main kai baaton par ikhtilaf rakhte hain. Lekin Michigan ko aik senator muntakhab karna hai aur koi ghair jaanibdar intikhab nahin hai jo mujhe zimmedari se bari kar de," unhon ne likha. "Jab main is nateeje par pahunchi ke Abdul El-Sayed US Senate mein khidmat ke qabil nahin hain, toh mujhe is sawal ka saamna karna para ke phir kaun hona chahiye."
Stevens, jo August ke primary mein un se taqreeban aik point ke farq se haar gayin, ne kaha ke unhon ne campaign ke dauran khud ko "bahar nikal diya gaya" mehsoos kiya, aur "mujhe himayat dene wale voters ki baat sunne ki maamooli koshish" ki gayi. Unhon ne aik bairooni giroh ke us ishtihar ki taraf ishara kiya jis mein US ki Israel ko imdad ko khurdonosh ki ashya ki qeemat ka zimmedar thehraya gaya, aur El-Sayed ke aik campaign ishtihar ki taraf bhi jis mein Tucker Carlson ko dikhaya gaya.
Un ki Michigan se saathi, Representative Debbie Dingell, ne kaha ke Rogers ki himayat ka asar Stevens ki chahat ke bilkul ulta ho raha hai aur woh El-Sayed ke pichhe "kai communities ko mutaharrik" kar rahi hai.
Michigan wahid toss-up Senate race hai jahan Democrats aik seat ka difa kar rahe hain. Agar Rogers ise jeet lete hain, toh Democrats ko Senate par control ke liye chaar ke bajaye paanch Republican seats jeetni hongi. Pichhle hafte aik poll mein El-Sayed ko 50% ke muqabil 48% se aage dikhaya gaya tha, jo margin of error ke andar hai.
Michigan mein polls Pakistan ke waqt ke mutabiq Budh ko subah 6 baje aur 7 baje band honge. Nateeje yahan dekhein.
