Democrat Abdul El-Sayed has won the race for a seat in the US Senate, defeating Republican candidate Mike Rogers in the state of Michigan, according to Decision Desk HQ projections and US media reports.
El-Sayed, a doctor and member of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, is expected to become the first Muslim senator in the history of the United States. During his victory speech, he addressed supporters with the words: "Michigan, we did it!" After the victory, the Democrat did not leave without comment even Vice President JD Vance, referring to the swearing-in ceremony in January. "JD, my habibi, there is a pleasant irony in the fact that you are constitutionally obliged to swear in to me in January," he declared, using an Arabic expression that translates as "beloved."

El-Sayed's victory comes after a tense campaign marked by divisions within the Democratic Party. Former Democratic candidate Hayley Stevens, whom El-Sayed defeated in the August primary, decided just two days before the vote to support Republican Mike Rogers. The decision sparked strong reactions among Democrats. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer called Stevens' action a "betrayal," and several of her aides resigned. Stevens justified her support for Rogers by citing her objections to El-Sayed's views and his ties to political commentator Hasan Piker.

During the campaign, Donald Trump and JD Vance made visits to Michigan, where the US president personally attacked the Democratic candidate. Trump called him a “violent terrorist” and used his middle name, Mohammed, in public statements. El-Sayed responded by stating that it did not matter how Trump pronounced his name, as after the election he would have to call him “senator.” The Democrat’s campaign focused mainly on health care and the cost of living, while his Muslim faith and positions on Israel and the war in Gaza became issues of political debate during the race.
