Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed, a Michigan Democrat who won his race by a wide margin on 3 November 2026, launched Habibi PAC, a leadership PAC to raise money for political allies, days after his victory.

There is this delicious irony in the fact that you're constitutionally obligated to swear me in in January."
