What the article reports

Democratic Sen.-elect Abdul El-Sayed of Michigan told NPR's Leila Fadel that he plans to be sworn in on a Qur'an, which would make him the first Muslim in the U.S. Senate. He said he is unsure which copy he will use, mentioning one once owned by Thomas Jefferson and an old one held by the University of Michigan. The article reports he beat Mike Rogers, 52.5% to 45.5% by the latest count, and notes Vice President JD Vance is required to swear him in.

CenterMisleading

The article mostly quotes El-Sayed directly, but the framing leans on provocative choices: the subhead stresses that he "laughed" and "mocked" Vance, and a RELATED link about a pundit's threatened 'reckoning' ties him to an unrelated inflammatory claim. The result is a slight right-leaning tilt through selection and emphasis.

  • Subhead stresses El-Sayed "laughed at the 'delicious irony'" and "mocked" Vance, foregrounding a jab over the swearing-in news.
  • RELATED link to a Muslim pundit promising a 'reckoning' associates El-Sayed with a separate, inflammatory statement.
  • Closing line questions whether the University of Michigan holds the "oldest" Qur'an, a minor point that casts doubt on his remarks.
