Arts hail al-Sayed’s win
American artists celebrated 42-year-old Democrat Abdulrahman al-Sayed’s victory in Michigan’s Senate race against Republican Mike Rogers. He became the first Muslim to serve in the Senate and retained the seat held by retiring Senator Gary Peters. John Cusack, Bruce Springsteen, Mark Ruffalo and others praised his win, calling it a victory for progressives and political representation—and a response to campaigns that targeted him over his religion and support for Palestinian rights. His supporters also highlighted his platform, which calls for lowering the cost of living, expanding health insurance and curbing the influence of corporations and money in politics.
