- CBS News reported that President Trump attacked Abdul El-Sayed during a campaign stop in Michigan, in a video report by Nikole Killion from Port Huron, Michigan, linked here as CBS News video on Trump's attack on Abdul El-Sayed. The report's headline describes the attack, but the available summary does not say what Trump said about El-Sayed or how El-Sayed responded.

According to the same CBS News summary, candidates are in their last full week of campaigning before the midterm elections, and early voting is already underway in 43 states. The summary does not state which office El-Sayed is seeking or name any other candidates involved in the events described.

CBS News also reported that its latest poll shows most Americans do not approve of President Trump's handling of the economy or inflation. The summary does not give the poll's figures, its sample size, or the dates on which it was conducted, so the summary alone cannot show how large that disapproval is.

CBS News is the only source available for this report, so no other outlet's account of the Michigan campaign stop, the remarks made there, or any response can be compared with it. The campaign timing and polling details are reported only as stated in that summary and have not been checked against other sources.
