Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed, an epidemiologist, public health administrator, academic and politician, recently won a crucial Senate seat in Michigan, becoming the first Muslim senator in US history. The 42-year-old Democrat, known as Abdul El-Sayed, defeated his Trump-backed Republican opponent, Mike Rogers, despite a campaign of anti-Muslim attacks spearheaded by the President himself.
El-Sayed had earlier won a tough primary, where the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) spent over $30 million against him. The attacks on El-Sayed by Trump and Republicans aimed to portray him as a radical sympathizing with Islamic extremism, citing alleged ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, which was not substantiated.
The campaign slogan "Money out of politics, money in your pocket and Medicare for all" resonated with Michigan voters, many of whom are part of the second-largest Arab-American population in the US.
