- He criticised campaign attacks and US spending on Israel.

## Summary

Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed used his Michigan victory speech to mock President Donald Trump, Vice-President JD Vance and defeated Republican Mike Rogers, signalling a combative approach ahead of taking office. He said his opponents had run an ugly campaign focused on his name and faith, while arguing that voters’ concerns about living costs were more important.

El-Sayed said Trump’s remarks about him had grown harsher and invoked Vance’s constitutional role in swearing him in, joking, “Wolverine one. Buckeye zero.” He also criticised US spending on Israel’s war, told Rogers to enjoy retirement and won after a campaign shaped by affordability concerns, Trump’s trade war with Canada and the Iran war; his victory was a setback for Republican efforts to portray him as a symbol of socialism.
