Karoline Leavitt sharply criticized Michigan Senate candidate El Sayed, accusing him of attempting to soften his political positions ahead of the election while arguing that his past support for abolishing prisons and defunding police shows where he really stands.

Leavitt praised Mike Rogers, President Donald Trump’s endorsed candidate in Michigan, for confronting El Sayed during a debate and highlighting what she described as his record of far-left positions.

"I had the pleasure of watching Mike Rogers tonight, President Trump's endorsed candidate in Michigan, and he did an exceptional job exposing El Sayed for the radical, extreme liberal, Democrat, and leftist that he is," Leavitt said.

She went further, accusing El Sayed of trying to reposition himself politically in order to appeal to Michigan voters.

"And Mike Rogers was absolutely right to point out that El Sayed is a complete, total fraud and conman. He is trying to now modify his positions to appease common sense people in Michigan to earn their vote. But his past positions prove exactly the far-left extremists that he is."

Leavitt specifically focused on El Sayed’s previous positions regarding prisons and law enforcement, saying he had defended them again during both a recent interview and the debate.

"In fact, in an interview this week and on the debate stage tonight, he defended his past positions of abolishing prisons and defunding the police. He said those sound pretty good to me."

Leavitt argued that policies moving in that direction would make Michigan and the country less safe.

"Can you just imagine that? Imagine a state of Michigan. Imagine a country here in the United States of America where we get rid of prisons, where we just release every single murderer and rapist and violent criminal in our country onto the streets."

She then warned Michigan voters that the consequences of electing El Sayed could be severe.

"The lives that would be lost if this man is elected to the Senate in Michigan. It will be a less safe state. It will be a more dangerous place for common sense everyday Americans."

Leavitt broadened her message beyond Michigan, framing the election as a national choice between Democratic policies and the agenda supported by Trump and congressional Republicans.

"So, Sean, whether you're in Michigan tonight, whether you are in every state across the country tonight, if you're sitting there and thinking, "Why should I get out and vote in 26 days? It's because you vote for the country you want to live in."

She contrasted what she described as the consequences of Democratic governance with the direction she said Republicans would continue under Trump.

"Do you want to live in a country where there are violent criminals roaming your streets? Where radical left Democrats want to take away your property and take away your hard-earned paychecks every week by raising your taxes? Or do you want to continue to live in a strong, safe, secure America with a strong southern border, with President Trump and Republicans backing him up on Capitol Hill?"

Leavitt also pointed to Trump’s recent campaign travel as evidence that voters remain energized heading into Election Day.

"I'll just say this, Sean: the president has been on the road almost every single day for the last two weeks. Last night he had a huge rally in Texas. There were lines outside of the door. They had to put a jumbotron outside just so the people could watch his speech because there wasn't enough room inside."

She said that turnout and enthusiasm should matter more to Republicans than negative media coverage or polling.

"That's because the spirit out there is real. Every day, common sense Americans know what's at stake in this election. So don't buy the doom and gloom from the Democrat media and the pollsters. Get out and vote."

Leavitt closed with a direct appeal to voters to participate either on November 3 or through early voting.

"It is 10 minutes of your day on November the 3rd. Or if you vote early, you can do so very soon in many states that are coming up with these elections. Get out and do it. You will vote for the country that you and your family are going to be having to live in, and we don't want it to be run by extreme far-left radical Democrats."
