Abdul El-Sayed declares victory in Michigan Senate race

“Michigan, I can’t wait to work for you in Washington.” Democrat Abdul El-Sayed declares victory after taking a commanding lead in Michigan’s Senate race.

“Thank you for your trust, faith and kindness,” El-Sayed says to jubilant supporters at his election night watch party.

Abdul El-Sayed is a doctor and public health expert. He is expected to become the first Muslim U.S. senator.

His Republican opponent, former congressman and FBI agent Mike Rogers, received an unexpected endorsement this weekend from El-Sayed’s Democratic primary rival, Haley Stevens.
