A 9/11 hero’s father stood next to President Trump and told Michigan voters the enemy isn’t overseas anymore — it’s running for Senate in their own state.

Story Snapshot

David Beamer, father of Flight 93 passenger Todd Beamer, spoke at President Trump’s Port Huron rally on October 25, 2026.
Beamer called the Democratic Socialists of America “local terrorists” and warned of an attack “from within.”
He linked Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed to gun confiscation and said El-Sayed had taken Muslim Brotherhood support.
El-Sayed has repeatedly denied the claims and says the Constitution is his “guiding light.”

Flight 93 Father Delivers Blunt Warning at Trump Rally

David Beamer took the stage in Port Huron, Michigan, days before the midterm elections and did not hold back. “The enemy is right here among us, local terrorists, local citizens that want to demolish our country,” Beamer told the crowd. “They call themselves Democratic Socialists of America.” His son Todd Beamer died fighting hijackers on Flight 93 on September 11, 2001.

President Trump personally introduced Beamer at the rally, tying the moment to the September 11 attacks before turning his attention to Democrat Abdul El-Sayed, the Michigan Senate candidate running against Republican Mike Rogers. The pairing of a 9/11 family member with 2026 campaign rhetoric drew heavy coverage from outlets including CNN, Fox News, and NBC.

Beamer Ties Gun Rights to Senate Race

Beamer didn’t stop at labeling his opponents terrorists. He connected the fight straight to the Second Amendment, warning the crowd that disarming law enforcement is step one toward disarming everyone else. “If he doesn’t want cops to have guns, he doesn’t want you and I to have one, that’s for sure,” Beamer said, framing the Senate race as a battle over basic self-defense rights.

Beamer also claimed El-Sayed had accepted endorsement and financial backing from the Muslim Brotherhood, an allegation repeated at the rally but not backed by any campaign-finance filing, donor record, or statement from the organization in the reporting available so far. He acknowledged El-Sayed has a birth certificate while still insisting he is “not an American”.

El-Sayed Pushes Back Against Accusations

El-Sayed has rejected the Muslim Brotherhood claims directly and repeatedly throughout the campaign, calling them hearsay and insisting the Constitution guides his politics, not any outside organization. After Trump’s rally attacks, El-Sayed fired back with a pointed jab of his own, telling Trump, “I will be Senator Muhammad to you bro,” a comment widely covered by The Hill and other outlets covering the race.

The Rogers-El-Sayed contest has become one of the most heated Senate races of the 2026 midterms, with both parties pouring in national firepower. Trump and former President Obama each campaigned in Michigan within a day of each other, underscoring how much is riding on the seat for both sides heading into Election Day.

9/11 Legacy Meets 2026 Campaign Trail

Beamer closed his remarks by leading the crowd in “Let’s Roll,” the phrase his son made famous moments before confronting hijackers aboard Flight 93. The chant brought the Port Huron crowd to its feet, fusing a defining moment of American heroism with a modern-day midterm brawl over who gets to call themselves a true patriot.

"Abdul had the choice to decide whether to be American or not but he has chosen otherwise,” he argued.

For conservative voters already wary of soft-on-crime policies and open hostility toward police and gun owners, Beamer’s warning landed as more than campaign theater. Whether or not every allegation against El-Sayed holds up to scrutiny, the broader message resonated with a base that believes the hard left has moved from protest to open contempt for American institutions.
