First Muslim Senator in the USA. El-Sayed wins in Michigan, projections show

Abdul El-Sayed has won a Senate seat in Michigan, becoming the first Muslim senator in the U.S. He defeated Republican Mike Rogers, a Trump ally. El-Sayed, a progressive Democrat, faced criticism for his stance on Israel and had to deny links to the Muslim Brotherhood. His victory was celebrated by supporters as he announced, "We did it, Michigan!" Despite facing challenges, including opposition from fellow Democrat Haley Stevens, who endorsed Rogers, El-Sayed's campaign received a surge in donations following her endorsement of his opponent.
