Abdul El-Sayed, a Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate from Michigan, issued an apology at a Michigan Democratic Jewish Caucus event for earlier comments linking the March Temple Israel attack to Israeli strikes in Lebanon. The attacker, identified as Lebanese national Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, drove a truck into the building but caused no injuries before being killed. Sen. James Clyburn expressed support for El-Sayed, stating that all individuals deserve second chances.
