Summary

  • Abdul El-Sayed said President Donald Trump’s “mismanagement” drove this week’s global bond sell-off, injecting market turmoil into Michigan’s Senate contest.
  • Trump’s war of choice, trade war and pressure on the Federal Reserve are making goods more expensive and fueling inflation, El-Sayed said, arguing traders are selling bonds on that outlook.
  • The statement followed Vice President JD Vance’s intervention Monday, which sharpened the already bitter tone of the closely watched race.
