Abdul El-Sayed made history Tuesday, becoming the first Muslim U.S. Senator after winning Michigan’s Senate seat. Appearing before his supporters after the result was announced, Abdul took a swipe at President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance.
“You took a chance on the unlikeliest of candidates. You welcomed me in your homes, your churches, your synagogues.”
Those were some of Abdul El-Sayed’s words from his victory speech late Tuesday, as it was clear he had won the Michigan Senate seat.
The 42-year-old defeated former Republican congressman Mike Rogers in the race to win Michigan’s vacant Senate seat, securing a victory in one of the most closely watched contests of the midterm elections.
