If Democrat Abdul El-Sayed is elected to the US Senate from Michigan, he will be the first Muslim senator in the country's history.
Modern.az reports, citing AP, that the winner of the race between El-Sayed and Republican Mike Rogers has not yet been determined. Vote counting continues.
El-Sayed defeated Congresswoman Haley Stevens in the Democratic primary. However, Stevens announced her support for Republican Rogers a few days before the vote.
El-Sayed, a former health official, prioritized accessible healthcare for all and reducing living costs in his election campaign.
