Abdul El-Sayed has won, he will be the first Muslim senator in the history of the USA

In the recent U.S. midterm elections, Michigan emerged as a key battleground state, with Democrat Abdul El-Sayed running for the Senate. His campaign faced intense scrutiny, especially after his opponent, Haley Stevens, switched allegiance to the Republican side shortly before the election. El-Sayed, who would be the first Muslim senator, was accused of antisemitism by Republicans due to his criticism of Israeli foreign policy. Despite this, polls indicated strong support from the state's Jewish population. El-Sayed was noted for his oratory skills and received endorsements from prominent figures like Barack Obama and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. His campaign focused on progressive messages, including expanding social security, while linking his opponent Mike Rogers to Trump and rising costs due to the Iranian conflict. The election was the most expensive in Michigan's history, with significant spending on advertisements.
