Abdul El-Sayed wins Michigan Senate race, becoming first Muslim U.S. senator

Democrat Abdul El-Sayed has won Michigan's Senate race, defeating Republican Mike Rogers and becoming the first Muslim senator in U.S. history, according to American media reports. El-Sayed, a physician and progressive Democrat, overcame attacks from Donald Trump, who called him a "jihadist" and "terrorist sympathizer." His platform includes taxing millionaires, universal healthcare, and challenging U.S. military support for Israel. The victory marks a new hope for the left following Kamala Harris's presidential defeat, raising questions about whether Democrats should shift further left to attract overlooked voters or moderate to appeal to centrists and disaffected Republicans.
