Speaker Mike Johnson@SpeakerJohnsonNov 2, 2026You can’t make this up! Radical socialist Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed on biological men exposing themselves in girls’ locker rooms 👇 “The free flow of information is actually a beautiful thing.” Parents’ concerns are “outdated.” Absolute INSANITY. Welcome to today’s Democrat Party.
Multiple reliable sources published around the claim date (2026-11-02) show Abdul El-Sayed as the Democratic nominee and candidate for U.S. Senate in Michigan, facing Republican Mike Rogers in the Nov. 3 election. The claim's core assertion is directly supported; the extraction faithfully reflects the passage's reference to him as a Senate candidate.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.
What we found
Supports. AP video and Michigan Public both describe El-Sayed as the Democratic Senate candidate in Michigan's open seat vacated by Gary Peters.[1][3]
Supports. PolitiFact and The Michigan Daily identify El-Sayed as the Democratic U.S. Senate nominee facing Republican Mike Rogers in the November midterm.[2][4]
Supports. Reuters reports El-Sayed as the Democratic nominee in the Nov. 3 race for Michigan's U.S. Senate seat, citing a CNN poll showing him leading Rogers.[5]
Context. The passage itself calls him a 'Senate candidate' but is the claimant's own words and was used only to resolve the referent; the claim does not depart from it.
