Democrat Abdul El-Sayed has won the race for a seat in the US Senate in the state of Michigan, defeating Republican candidate Mike Rogers.

With this result, he is expected to become the first Muslim senator in the history of the United States.

According to Decision Desk HQ predictions and American media reports, El-Sayed secured victory in an important electoral race, in a state that is considered one of the most important in political battles in the US.

"Michigan, we did it!" he declared during his victory speech, while not leaving out US Vice President JD Vance.

Referring to the swearing-in ceremony expected to take place in January, El-Sayed addressed Vance with irony, also using an Arabic expression.

"JD, my habibi, there is a pleasant irony in the fact that you are obliged by the Constitution to vote for me in January," he said.

El-Sayed, a physician by profession and former director of public health services in Detroit and Wayne County, defeated former Republican Congressman Mike Rogers, who had the support of President Donald Trump.

The Democrat's campaign focused mainly on health care, while during the race he also faced criticism and attacks for his Muslim faith, as well as controversy over his positions on Israel and the war in Gaza.

The race was also fraught with divisions within the Democratic ranks. Hayley Stevens, who had been defeated by El-Sayed in the party's primary over the summer, unexpectedly decided to support Republican Rogers just days before the vote.

This decision was criticized by other Democrats, who considered it a betrayal of the party's nominee. Stevens, for her part, justified the stance by citing her opposition to El-Sayed and his ties to political commentator Hassan Piker.

However, the Democratic candidate managed to mobilize his supporters, announcing that he had raised $1.2 million in just four hours after Stevens' statement.

President Donald Trump also became directly involved in the campaign, visiting Michigan and making personal attacks on El-Sayed. Trump called him a “violent terrorist” and on several occasions referred to him by his middle name, Mohammed.

The Democratic candidate's response was also ironic.

"I don't care how you pronounce my name or even if you remember my whole name. After November, you can just call me senator," was his message to Trump.
