The Senate Majority Pac has reserved (https://x.com/laurennfrench/status/2110348318131749011?s=20) $3.7m  for its campaign in Michigan, to support the Democratic nominee , Dr Abdul El-Sayed , against the Trump-backed Republican, Mike Rogers . The group is also investing (https://x.com/laurennfrench/status/2110350681882374653?s=20) $3m in Maine , to boost Democrat Troy Jackson’s chances against Susan Collins – the five-term moderate GOP incumbent, who Democrats see as increasingly vulnerable in a cycle where anti-Trump sentiment has colored much of the election. This comes after reports that the Senate Majority Pac has also paused ad spending in North Carolina and Georgia. Semafor (https://www.semafor.com/article/10/14/2026/top-democratic-super-pac-spends-more-in-michigan-maine) was first  to report on the updated spend.

When reporters asked Zacharia, as she left the White House with (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/donaldtrump) Donald Trump on Tuesday, where she had passed the bar exam, since she has described herself as a lawyer, she replied, oddly: “I moved to China”. In a brief phone interview with the Times, she said: “I assumed the question was, ‘Where were you after law school?’ “That’s all I could hear over the sound of Marine One,” she said, of the helicopter that was about to bring her and the president to the airport for his flight to Alaska. “And, wanting to respect protocol, the distance behind the president, kept me from moving closer to hear the question.” According to the Times, she added that when she first began appearing on television as a pro-Trump commentator, the president of Pepperdine law school, where she obtained her law degree in 2011, warned her not to call herself “attorney” or “esquire,” but said that using the term “lawyer” was allowed. That answer suggests that Zacharia simply did not pass the bar exam in any US state, before or after moving to China to work in a Chinese law firm. The Wall Street Journal (https://www.wsj.com/business/media/white-house-press-secretary-katie-zacharia-didnt-pass-bar-exam-714a484e) reported on Wednesday night that Zacharia sat for the California bar exam after graduating from law school at Pepperdine in 2011, but failed to pass, according to a source it did not name.

The president (https://youtu.be/117BmljC8qk?si=vxa1WqS05NVurI77&t=70) responded by lying that El-Sayed had called himself “a member of the Muslim Brotherhood”. “Abdul, or as I call him, Mohammed El-Sayed, he’s a member of the Muslim Brotherhood,” Trump said in a false statement (https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/2110496113543524668) posted on social media by the White House. “He said that years ago, he was a proud member,” the president continued, also falsely. “And you can’t have a member of the Muslim Brotherhood in Congress, being on one of our security committees.” Despite Trump’s blatant lie, there is no evidence that El-Sayed is or ever has been a member of the group. The allegation he was being asked to respond to, which has become a centerpiece of the Republican campaign against El-Sayed, is that his mother and members of her family in Egypt might have once had sympathy for the group, based on three tweets posted in 2012 and 2013 by the candidate’s half-sister, Eman Abdelhadi, in response to political developments in Egypt after the revolution there. The social media posts from El-Sayed’s half-sister were (https://freebeacon.com/democrats/abdul-el-sayeds-family-has-long-been-in-egyptian-muslim-brotherhood-senate-candidates-sister-said-in-unearthed-social-media-posts/) reported this week by the Washington Free Beacon, a partisan, rightwing news site funded by a major Republican donor. The rightwing site was invited to accompany Trump on his trip to Arizona on Wednesday by the White House.

The same day, as secular supporters of the revolution that deposed Mubarak expressed relief that Morsi had defeated a military-backed candidate, Abdelhadi also posted: “Had an amazing talk with my mom about her activism in the Muslim Brotherhood during the early 70s while she was in college.” On 3 July 2013, when Morsi was deposed in a military coup by Gen Abdel Fatah al-Sisi, starting a bloody crackdown on Islamists and secular activists that lasts to this day, El-Sayed’s half-sister (https://x.com/emanabdelhadi/status/352513610104324096) posted that she was praying for family members in Egypt who supported the Muslim Brotherhood.
