Abdul Al-Sayed to J.D. Vance: J.D., my dear, there's some neat irony in this: you're constitutionally required to swear an oath of office to me in January. This guy is the Democratic nominee. He will become the first Muslim in the history of the upper house of the Congress. During the election campaign, al-Sayed was criticized by Trump. The Donald called him a "jihadist" who "would have to go through a metal detector before they would let him into the Senate," portrayed him as a threat to national security and questioned his loyalty to the United States, and urged Michigan voters to vote for Republican Mike Rogers. The result is clear.
