(EPA Images) Istanbul: Abdul El-Sayed, who recently secured a victory in the Senate election, has established a political action committee named Habibi PAC, signaling his intention to continue playing a significant role in Democratic politics, according to Anadolu Agency quoting The Hill. According to documents shared with the Federal Election Commission, the Democratic Party politician from Michigan formed a separate political action committee (PAC) aimed at raising funds to support his political allies. The name of the committee is derived from the Arabic word 'habibi,' meaning 'my beloved,' a term that gained popularity during El-Sayed's campaign and among his supporters. El-Sayed openly proclaimed his Muslim identity during the campaign, which he often faced as a target of religious attacks. The Democratic politician from Michigan won with a significant majority in Michigan, an important swing state, which could play a major role in the 2028 presidential election.",
