Abdel Al-Sayyed, the victorious Democratic Party nominee in the U.S. Senate election from the state of Michigan, addressed U.S. President Donald Trump and said: “After J.D. Vance took my oath in January, you can from then on easily call me senator.” After winning the vacant Senate seat in Michigan, he became the first Muslim elected to the U.S. Senate. He also, in a jab at the matter, noted that, according to the Constitution, J.D. Vance, the vice president of the United States, is required to hold the ceremony for his oath.
