US President Donald Trump has repeatedly described Abdul El-Sayed as a communist, most recently in a Truth Social post published shortly after El-Sayed's primary victory.

Publisher’s rating: DW Fact check: False El-Sayed's campaign has focused on government-sponsored health insurance, taxing billionaires and reducing the influence of corporate money in politics. In the past, he has rejected claims that he is a socialist or a communist by stating he is a capitalist. "I'm not a socialist. I'm just a capitalist who understands how capitalism works," he said.

Publisher’s rating: DW Fact check: False. According to the Michigan Voter Information Center, Michigan has approximately 7.3 million active registered voters, while El-Sayed received 743,455 votes statewide in the Democratic Senate primary, not 1.4 million votes in Detroit alone.

Yes. The review says the Council of Ministers asked the Ministry of Telecommunications to sign the MEDUSA contract alongside Ogero, and asked the Ministry of Finance to provide the necessary funding. It reports that the Court of Audit considered the ministry’s signature necessary because the project has sovereign importance and the ministry is responsible for securing the funds.
