Democrat candidate Abduil El Saeed made history in America. Saeed was elected senator from Michigan after defeating Republican candidate Mike Rogers in the midterm elections. This leader became the first Muslim in US history to enter the Senate after defeating his opponent by more than 2 lakh votes. It should be noted that before the election, US President Donald Trump did not spare any effort in spreading the fear of Islam. Saeed's victory made it clear that Trump's plan had no effect at the ballot box.
It is known that 42-year-old Saeed is a doctor by profession and a former public health officer. The man, who lives in Rochester Hills, Michigan, was born to Egyptian immigrants. He was nominated for the Senate after losing the Democratic primary to Congresswoman Haley Stevens. Saeed's wife is also a doctor, named Sarah Zukaku, who is also of Indian origin. Sayeed was ahead by 52 percent to 46 percent, according to the final report of the midterm election vote count on Wednesday. “Michigan, we did it! I'm proud and honored to stand here today as your senator,” he told supporters in Detroit after the victory.
Calling Saeed a “jehadi” and a “terrorist mentality”, Trump said, “If Saeed is elected, metal detectors should be installed before he enters the Senate.”
It should be noted that before this election, US President Donald Trump did not leave any defect in anti-Muslim propaganda. In an interview, he called Saeed a 'Jehadist', 'terrorist mentality' and said, “If Saeed is elected, metal detectors should be installed before he enters the Senate.” Not only that, before the election, Trump made continuous attacks on Muslim immigrants. He is heard to say, America is a Christian country. These immigrants are conspiring to make America a Muslim country. Although it is needless to say that this Muslim fear of Trump has not had a special effect on the American people.
Meanwhile, as a result of the election, the calculations that have emerged so far show that in the Senate, the upper house of the US Congress with 100 seats, the Democrats are ahead in 53 and the Republicans in 42. On the other hand, in the House of Representatives, the lower house of 435 seats, Democrats lead in 224 and Republicans lead in 133. But the final results of some seats are yet to come. It is good to say that until now the Republicans had 53 seats in the Senate and the Democrats had 47 seats. In the House of Representatives, Republicans held 218 seats and Democrats 214.
