Times of India - India · india

Democrat Abdul El-Sayed has defeated Republican Mike Rogers in Michigan's Senate race, becoming the first Muslim elected to the US Senate. In his victory speech, El-Sayed directly addressed Vice President JD Vance, highlighting the irony of Vance having to swear him into office. He also sent a message to President Donald Trump, who had criticized him during the campaign, suggesting Trump could call him 'Senator' after being sworn in. El-Sayed's win marks a significant Democratic gain in a traditionally Republican state.
