El-Sayed's historic Senate bid sparks anti-Muslim backlash

Abdul El-Sayed became the first Muslim nominated by the Democratic Party for U.S. Senate, but his historic win has been met with a surge of anti-Muslim vitriol from political figures and communities. He rejects accusations of antisemitism, saying his commitment to Jewish safety matches that for his own daughters. The backlash extends beyond politics, with tensions over mosque proposals in places like McKinney, Texas.
