Michigan Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed’s use of “JD, habibi” to mock JD Vance in his victory speech has sparked an online wave of videos, memes and music, according to Al Jazeera.

In a video report published Nov. 8, the outlet said the phrase had also inspired a political fundraising committee. “Habibi” is an Arabic term of endearment.

The supplied report did not identify the committee or provide figures measuring the phrase’s online reach.
