Vance Defends Wife Usha as El-Sayed Faces Fallout in Michigan Senate Race

El-Sayed faced backlash over comments about American identity and heritage, while Vance highlighted concerns for Michigan’s auto workers; both candidates also align, in principle, on using tariffs to boost American industry.
