The senator welcomed the results as a rejection of oligarchy and a vote for working-class Americans. In Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed defeated Republican Mike Rogers in a state Trump carried in 2024. El-Sayed became the first Muslim senator in U.S. history. In Maine, Troy Jackson unseated five-term Republican Susan Collins. It is worth noting that Jackson is Maine’s first Democratic senator elected since 1988.
Democrats flipped Senate seats in North Carolina, South Carolina, Kansas, Texas, Iowa, and Ohio, according to the AP. They took the House, the Senate, and a majority of governorships.
