Where does it say that Indians would vote for him because he’s Egyptian?

Republicans see an opportunity to try to peel away South Asian voters from El-Sayed, whose parents are Egyptian immigrants, in a race that pits him against former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.).

They are implying that the South Asian voters are his (you can not peel away something unless someone already has it) because his parents are Egyptian immigrants.

The sub-text here is "all people with skin darker than a paper bag stick together". Or all migrants support each other. This is, of course, not the case but it is a narrative pushed by the media.
