Democrat Abdul El-Sayed Wins Michigan Senate Seat

Left-wing Democrat Abdul El-Sayed won the Senate race in Michigan against Republican Mike Rogers, becoming the United States' first Muslim senator.

El-Sayed campaigned on a progressive platform featuring universal healthcare, a wealth tax on billionaires, and ending U.S. aid to Israel.

The victory strengthens Democratic control of the U.S. Senate following a series of midterm victories in competitive races.
