Although the Michigan race has not been decided, Abdul Rahman Al-Sayyid comments on the possibility of his reaching the Senate

Democratic Senate candidate Abdul Rahman Al-Sayed took to the stage energetically to thank his supporters at approximately 1:30 a.m. EST, at a time when the results of the state Senate race were still too close to declare a winner.

Al-Sayed said that he “longs to serve” the people of Michigan, noting that Republicans tried to sow the seeds of division by attacking his name and religious belief.

“But we all know that my name and my belief are not the reason you can’t pay for fuel, nor the reason you can’t afford your food, nor the reason you can’t get medical care,” Al-Sayyid declared.

CNN has not decided the outcome of the Senate race in Michigan.
