Trump Warns of 'Jihadists' in Democratic Party

President Donald Trump has escalated his rhetoric against progressive Democratic candidates, claiming that 'jihadists' are being elected 'all over the place'. He made these remarks during an event in the Oval Office, where he was asked about recommendations for Republican candidates ahead of the midterm elections. Trump did not specify which candidates he was referring to, but his comments come as he has increasingly characterized far-left Democratic primary winners as anti-American and has turned his ire particularly towards Abdul El-Sayed, the progressive victor of Michigan’s contentious Democratic Senate primary. Trump has also labeled these candidates as 'communists', warning that they represent 'the greatest threat to our country'.
