Progressive Abdul El-Sayed wins Michigan Senate race to become first Muslim US senator : progressivepolitics@lemmy.world

I often say that MAGA is proof that there is no God, because if there were, Trump would be a smoking hole in the ground. You know that jet crash the other day? Like that.

Really hoping to see AES on the presidential debate stage in a couple of years. He will eviscerate any of the other prospective candidates.

I honestly don't know. I just shorten long names, but I think he's going to be in the media so much these next two years that they're going to give him the AOC treatment.

The article does not say "male", just "first Muslim Senator".

Ilhan Omar is in ~~Congress~~ The House rather than the Senate, does that mean she's "representative" not a "senator"? I don't know how this stuff works.

You’re close. The House and Senate make up Congress (the bicameral legislature). Both are members of Congress. Members of the House are Representatives and members of the Senate are Senators.
