Democrat Abdul El-Sayed won election Wednesday to the U.S. Senate representing Michigan, defeating Republican Mike Rogers. El-Sayed, a former public health official, will succeed Democratic Sen. Gary Peters, who is retiring. El-Sayed will be the country’s first Muslim senator.
I’ve been voting for 30 years, never seen anything like tonight. Texas, Iowa, Kansas, South Carolina, and Maine were inconceivable just one war ago.
It’s truly fucked up that we can measure things in wars. That applies to the entire world.
This is a wonderful result
I hope he has a good security team, because there will be a lot of pissed off bigots with firearms
I think there were some pissed off bigots with firearms that ended up voting for him too, once they realized how badly they screwed up their vote last election.
Bigots more often than not have less than half a brain, but one thing you can count on is them being angry.
Fuck APIC your money wont beat us
Getting Obama vibes from his victory speech.
And he played 2pac’s Changes as his walk off music. Think that’s a first for a senator
He is incredibly articulate in exactly the correct ways when called for. Yeah, his tone is close to Obama here for sure, but he actually is speaking in just plain vernacular. It’s incredibly relatable.
