I’m watching his speech and he is razzing everyone hard.
Told Rogers to enjoy his retirement and not come back to MI.
He started laughing when he said Vance is constitutionally obligated to swear him “Wolverines 1, Buckeyes 0”
Then told the orange turd that he knows he has trouble pronouncing his name, but after he’s sworn in in January he only has to call him Senator.
I’m not sure any non-president has ever overcome so much spending to win anyway.
My apologies, but it hasn’t been called (as much as I would like it to be). I don’t think it’s in doubt, but as The Guardian put it a couple minutes ago,
Abdul El-Sayed declared victory in Michigan’s US Senate race early Wednesday, saying he would become the first Muslim to serve in the upper chamber of Congress.
However, the Associated Press has yet to call the race. As of now, 79% of votes have been counted, and El-Sayed is leading his Republican challenger, Mike Rogers, by five points.
EDITED to revise: the race has now been called, about 45 minutes later, and El-Sayed has won. Congratulations to Michiganders on your new Senator (that actually gives a damn about you)!
Looks like the Trump Presidency really did bring about some change. Jokes aside, the whole state voted quite a bit more blue this time around.
He claimed victory, but the race is still not called.
Rogers told his people to go home.
Yeah, Rogers very pointedly has not conceded.
In the end, that doesn’t mean El-Sayed hasn’t won, just that we were all correct in thinking Rogers really is that much of a dick, and now we have to wait it out to find out just how much of a dick he plans to be about it.
Or to put it another way, there’s a Senate race in Mississippi that The Guardian has at a mere 20 vote difference right now; I wouldn’t concede that either. But that’s not the case in Michigan.
Texas wasnt a huge surprise. Kansas is kind of out of the blue, just a Republican in blue paint. Fucking Mississippi though? Now thats a shocker
I mean it’s done.
Alright, so I’ve heard of the Democrat who advertised for el-sayed’s opponent. Why should we be excited about him over her, other than the pettiness?
