Democrat Abdul El-Sayed has defeated Republican Mike Rogers in Michigan's US Senate election, marking a historic moment in American politics.
Abdul will become the first Muslim elected to the US Senate, breaking a major representation barrier in American politics.
El-Sayed campaigned on universal healthcare, reducing medical debt, lowering living costs and limiting corporate influence in politics.
Despite facing a costly campaign and political attacks over his identity and views, El-Sayed secured the seat.
