In one of the most talked about races headed into this year’s election, Abdul El-Sayed emerged victorious. He wins Michigan’s senate seat from Mike Rogers after beating fellow democrat Haley Stevens in the primary. Stevens recently flip-flopped to support Rogers in the race two days before election day. Regardless of the many personal attacks on his family and way of life, El-Sayed managed to come out of this as one of the democratic party’s main stars. Emphasizing Medicare for all, money in his constituents pockets, and a better way of life for everyone in his messaging, He has struck a chord with his fellow Michiganders.
El-Sayed’s win adds to a list of impressive victories for the democrats in this election. They will definitely try to make the most of it as they take control of the house and the senate from the republicans. We will see how these wins shake up the way in which Donald Trump tries to carry out his agenda for the next two years.
