    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)!
