Breaking news... Voting has started in the US midterm elections

Abdul el-Sayed, of Egyptian origin, who won the primaries held on August 5 in Michigan and became the candidate of the Democratic Party, campaigned in the state's Royal Oak city on the last day before the election.

Sayed went on stage with Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren and asked for votes from Michiganders. Focusing on the economic situation in the country in his speech, Sayed said that food and daily expenses have become much more expensive for Michigan families and told voters, "Call me as a senator tomorrow." he said.

At the ballot box, Egyptian-origin Muslim candidate Abdul el-Sayed and his Republican opponent Mike Rogers are fighting to represent Michigan in the US Senate. Winning Michigan is of great importance for the Democrats' goal of gaining the majority in the Senate in this election to be held for the seat that will be vacated due to the retirement of the state's current Democratic Senator Gary Peters at the end of the year. The race of the two candidates stands out not only in terms of changing the political balance in the Senate, but also as one of the important indicators of political polarization in the country. If Sayed wins the ballot box, he will make history as the first Muslim elected to the US Senate.
