US Midterm Elections 2026
Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed has defeated Republican Mike Rogers to become the first Muslim elected to the US Senate, in a midterm race marked by attacks on his faith and name from President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance. The 42-year-old physician and former public health official took more than 52 percent of the vote with over 95 percent counted, and vowed to tackle economic inequality, healthcare costs and US military intervention abroad.
