Progressive Democrat Abdul El-Sayed has defeated Republican Mike Rogers to win a US Senate seat in Michigan, making history as the first Muslim senator in the country. The Guardian and the BBC both report this outcome, with The Guardian adding that the contest featured Islamophobic attacks from Donald Trump and Republican allies. The Guardian also provides video coverage of the final days of the campaign, showing how El-Sayed defeated what it describes as "Maga in Michigan." Meanwhile, Sky News contributes a reporter's personal account from the final stretch, describing an encounter where El-Sayed's response felt like a "misstep after stressful contest."
