Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed Plans to Use Quran for U.S. Senate Swearing-In
El-Sayed says the mock card backs his plan for a single government healthcare system with no copays, premiums or deductibles.
- On Thursday, Michigan Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed announced he intends to use a Quran during his January 2027 swearing-in, marking a historic first as the first Muslim elected to the U.S. Senate.
- El-Sayed is considering a historic Quran once owned by President Thomas Jefferson, following the precedent set by Keith Ellison in 2007, or an early volume held by the University of Michigan.
- To entice the president, El-Sayed created a mock "TrumpCare" card design mimicking a $1 million government gold card, aiming to leverage President Donald Trump's known branding interests for healthcare policy.
- Democrats including Texas Senator-elect James Talarico are pitching cross-party collaboration, referencing Lyndon B. Johnson's dealmaking history to encourage the president to engage on healthcare and drug pricing legislation.
- Despite these overtures, President Trump warned he may veto early bills, while Vice President JD Vance—who clashed with El-Sayed during the campaign—may administer the January swearing-in oath.
