He will become the first Muslim senator in the history of America.. Ofoq News predictions: Abdul Rahman Al-Sayyid wins the Michigan Senate seat

- The Ufoq News Estimation Unit expects Democrat Abdul Rahman Al-Sayed, a former public health official, to win over Republican candidate and former House member Mike Rogers in the Michigan Senate race. This represents a victory for the progressive wing of the Democratic Party in one of the electorally decisive states. Al-Sayed's victory means that the seat of Senator Gary Peters, who is retiring, will remain in the hands of Democrats.

Al-Sayed differs greatly from traditional politicians; At 42, he usually wears a tight V-neck shirt, a rubber-strap dive watch, jeans and dark sneakers. His victory comes despite his difficulties uniting Democrats after a fierce August primary that pitted El-Sayed against moderate Rep. Haley Stevens — a contest El-Sayed won by less than one percentage point.

Stevens caused turmoil in the election race during its final days, by announcing on Sunday her support for Rogers and appearing with him in a church in Detroit. This sudden move angered Democratic Party leaders, both nationally and in Michigan, and prompted the party to rally around El-Sayed, who had spent months trying to win the support of black and Jewish voters who had supported Stevens in the primaries.

He is now on the cusp of entering history; He will become the country's first Muslim senator when he is sworn in in January.
