  Organizer @lsarsour.bsky.social says Abdul El-Sayed's victory is a "rebuke" of the Republican Party's anti-Muslim bigotry and "demonstrated that progressives can win in states like Michigan."

  ""Donald, I know you struggled with my name," El-Sayed said. "So after JD swears me in in January, you can just go on and call me 'Senator.'""

  You may well be right, but for the moment I chose to believe the biggest factor is that people found a candidate that they liked who had a strong hopeful message. His skin color and religion inevitably played a role, but El-Sayed is so much more than that and I hope the people of his state focused on his message more.

  Same, but their victory speeches were awesome, and I watched a bunch today (why I’m up so late). This was El-Sayed’s and this was Talarico’s . El-Sayed Started out slow but man he delivered, as usual. Talarico was so moving and inspiring. Both have their different styles and they were both great in their own way.

  民主党の圧勝となったアメリカの2026年中間選挙にて、ミシガン州ではアブドゥル・エルサイードが共和党を破って上院議員に選出され、同院に選出された初のイスラム教徒に。一部の民主党候補が共和党の反トランスジェンダー戦略に流されて、トランスジェンダーを否定する発言に傾くこともあった中、アブドゥル・エルサイードは選挙運動期間中もトランスジェンダーの権利を擁護し続けたことでも特筆されます。トランスジェンダーを見捨てずに選挙に勝てるということを実証しました。 https://www. advocate.com/politics/election /abdul-el-sayed-wins-michigan

  Do you mind if we switch that around? Mamdani has gritty New York energy that Batman has, while El-Sayed has the classic Midwest upbringing of Superman.
