Abdul El-Sayed has become the Democratic nominee for Michigan’s U.S. Senate race, making him the first Muslim nominated by the party for that seat. His win has drawn both celebration and a wave of anti-Muslim attacks, which he says reflect fear and political weakness. He is also facing scrutiny over deleted YouTube videos from his past, while his campaign says the clips were cherry-picked and do not reflect his current views. El-Sayed is now preparing for the general election against Republican Mike Rogers and is trying to unify Democrats after a divisive primary.
