The first Muslim in the history of the US Senate could be Democrat Abdul El-Sayed, if his election victory in Michigan is confirmed. Al-Sayed has already declared his victory. According to the latest data, after counting 79% of the votes, Al-Sayed leads Republican Mike Rogers by five percentage points. It is worth noting that Al-Sayed's candidacy caused a division among the Democrats in Michigan. He holds left-wing views and strongly criticizes Israel, which caused dissatisfaction among some of his party members. Shortly before the election, Congresswoman Haley Stevens, who lost to Al-Said in the Democratic primary, unexpectedly endorsed her Republican opponent, Mike Rogers.
