US elections: politicians from historically discriminated groups are elected

Here, as in virtually every American state, this was an election about Donald Trump. The victorious Democratic candidate, Abdul El-Sayed, greatly exploited the government's erosion in the face of rising prices. Throughout the campaign, he said Trump prioritized military aid to Israel in the war with Iran, rather than thinking about its economic consequences for Americans. Abdul El-Sayed is 42 years old, a doctor and the son of Egyptian immigrants. And there's an important point: throughout the campaign, Donald Trump attacked him a lot because of his religion and, now, he has become the first Muslim elected to the Senate. It's just an unprecedented aspect of so many other facts produced by this election and we will follow it in the report, says Nilson Klava.

The celebration in Minnesota was for the election of the country's first indigenous senator: Peggy Flanagan. And so, with new voices, the Democrats built a majority in the House and Senate. Democrats also won a majority of state governments. Keisha Lance Bottoms will be the first black woman governor in 250 years of democracy. She won in Georgia.

The mural we showed at the beginning of the report. That phrase - “The sound of change has many voices” - ends like this: “They will all be heard from here to the whole world”. The elections were for the American Congress. But the brake on Donald Trump's powers and the change of direction that this means will be felt by everyone.
