To be clear, he is not elected. He won the democratic party nomination for the senate from Michigan. He is prominent because he is Muslim and progressive and is not the kind of candidate we usually get from the democrats for a seat this important. Most of the prominent democrats (elected or in party leadership) had supported his opponent. Also much more money was spent against him in the nominating race than for him. And much of the funding supporting his opponent (or denigrating him) was from AIPAC.

i believed the other “DINO” was funded by AIPAC to about 35mil, almost 65mil in total for her campaign alone.
Yeah, if elected he will be 1/100 people voting in half of congress.
Granted his vote being 1/100 is better than being in the house which has 435.
So if you can get the right 269 people to agree on something good, it will go to the president and be vetod.
