Democrat Abdul El-Sayed Wins Michigan Senate Race, Makes History as First Muslim Senator
Decision Desk HQ projected Abdul El-Sayed’s victory after a campaign marked by a late Haley Stevens endorsement for Mike Rogers and attacks over religion and loyalty.
- On Tuesday, Progressive Democrat Abdul El-Sayed defeated Republican Mike Rogers to win Michigan's Senate seat, which will be vacated by retiring Democratic Senator Gary Peters.
- Throughout the campaign, El-Sayed stirred controversy by accusing Israel of genocide regarding the war in Gaza, while the Rogers campaign and allies accused him of antisemitism.
- Rep. Haley Stevens sparked outrage by endorsing Rogers less than 48 hours before Election Day, prompting the Michigan Democratic Party to announce Stevens was no longer a member.
- During a CBS 60 Minutes interview on Monday, El-Sayed argued the United States hinders a two-state solution through military assistance and linked rising prices to Trump's support of Israel and war in Iran.
- The race served as a major test for the progressive movement within the Democratic Party, with President Donald Trump and President Barack Obama campaigning for the candidates.
