‘Call me senator’: How Abdul El-Sayed beat Trump’s hate to create history
(opens the publisher’s site)Abdul El-Sayed has won Michigan's US Senate race, becoming the first Muslim elected to the chamber, and told President Trump to address him as "senator."
- El-Sayed, a Democrat, defeated Republican Mike Rogers in Tuesday's Michigan race, projected to win more than 52 percent of the vote.
- El-Sayed told President Trump he could call him "senator," noting Vice President JD Vance is constitutionally obligated to swear him in during January.
- El-Sayed said Palestinian children have the right to grow up in the land of their forefathers and live in peace and dignity.
- Trump had mocked El-Sayed's name and called him a "jihadist," and Vance described him as a "psychopath."
