Democrat Abdul El-Sayed will become the first Muslim in the history of the US Senate if his victory in the Michigan election is confirmed. He has already declared his victory. With 79% of the vote counted, Al-Sayed leads Republican Mike Rogers by five percentage points, according to the latest results. It will be recalled that El-Sayed's candidacy caused a division among the Democrats in Michigan. He adheres to the views of the left and strongly criticizes Israel, which caused dissatisfaction among some members of the party. Shortly before the election, Congresswoman Haley Stevens, who lost to Al-Said in the Democratic primary, unexpectedly endorsed her Republican opponent Mike Rogers. This caused a scandal in the Democratic Party, but did not prevent Al-Sayed from leading the elections - but not by a very large margin.
