Egyptian-American surgeon Adam Hamawy has secured a spot in the US Congress, representing New Jersey's 12th congressional district. This marks a historic moment as he becomes the first Muslim and Egyptian American to hold this position. During his victory speech, Hamawy directly addressed the people of Gaza and Palestine, expressing his gratitude for their smiles which give him the courage to fight for a better world.
With Republicans previously holding a majority of 218 seats in the House of Representatives, Hamawy's election is expected to shift the balance in the party's favor. The Democratic Party is projected to gain a whopping 250 seats, according to MS Now. Upon attending a watch party in Princeton, New Jersey, Hamawy declared his determination to "hold Donald Trump accountable" and emphasized the need to "stop the bleeding" and fight for every American overlooked by the ruling establishment.
