El-Sayed Wins Michigan Senate Race as Democrats Take Control of House and Senate

Democrat Abdul El-Sayed won Michigan's U.S. Senate race over Republican Mike Rogers. The Associated Press called the race for El-Sayed early Wednesday, and NBC News also projected him the winner.

The Associated Press reported that Democrats won the U.S. House and Senate in the midterm election, which was held Tuesday, November 3. KMBC reported that El-Sayed will become the first Muslim senator.

Al Jazeera described the Democrats' performance as a historic routing of Republicans. It also reported that the outcome was widely seen as a rebuke to Trump's Republican Party. Reuters reported in its live coverage that Democrats scored sweeping victories that reached deep into Republican strongholds.

NPR reported that Democrats swept several key races across the country on Tuesday night. It also reported that there were upsets and history-making moments, with candidates on both sides of the aisle making history with their wins.

In Kansas, NPR reported that the state flipped from red to blue for the first time in almost a century. Kansas held its general election on Tuesday, November 3. The state's Secretary of State website is the primary source for statewide unofficial results as counties report them.

Unofficial results become final only after certification. The Kansas State Board of Canvassers, the panel that officially certifies election results, has until December 1 to do so.
