Abdulrahman al-Sayed stole the show in his victory speech after winning a seat in the U.S. Senate, using Arabic phrases—most notably “J.D., habibi,” addressed to Vice President J.D. Vance, in a sarcastic reference to taking the oath of office before him. He also told Trump that, after being sworn in, he would call him “Senator.” Al-Sayed, who is of Egyptian descent, said his campaign had turned “Inshallah” (“God willing”) into “Alhamdulillah” (“Praise be to God”), prompting widespread reaction across the Arab world, especially in Egypt. The remarks came after he faced anti-Muslim rhetoric and criticism of his identity and views during the campaign, while remaining proud of his faith and Egyptian roots.
