From Dailywire:
Michigan Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed wasted little time making his Arab-American political identity a centerpiece of his post-election message, declaring that Michigan — not Washington, D.C. — is the “capital of Arab America” during remarks following his victory over Republican Mike Rogers.
“I’m honored to be the next United States senator from the great state of Michigan,” El-Sayed said. “Which, of course, I know we’re here in D.C., which, of course, is the capital of the United States of America, but Michigan is the capital of Arab America.”
