Michigan election heats up Will O be first Muslim senator
Abdulaziz Said, an American doctor of Egyptian descent, won the Democratic primary election in Michigan, narrowly beating his opponent, Hilli Stevens. This victory boosts his chances of becoming the first Muslim elected to the U.S. Senate. His campaign focused on opposing unconditional American support for Israel, describing its practices in Gaza as "genocide" and "apartheid." He called for an end to unconditional U.S. military aid to Tel Aviv. His win is seen as a blow to pro-Israel lobbying groups like AIPAC, which invested over $50 million in supporting his opponent. This comes amid increasing support from the new progressive left for policies that challenge traditional party establishments. Mr. Said is competing with Congresswoman Hilli Stevens to succeed Senator Gary Peters and will face Republican candidate Mike Rogers in the general election.
