Abdul El‑Sayed mocks US Vice President after midterm win, calls it ‘JD, Habibi’

Abdul El‑Sayed, the son of Egyptian immigrants and former public‑health officer, mocked US Vice President <b>Kamala Harris</b> on X after the Democrats’ <b>midterms</b> defeat, dubbing her ‘JD, Habibi’. The 2022 midterms saw the Democratic Party lose control of the House, a setback that prompted Harris to defend the administration’s record while the <b>US</b> continues to lecture other nations on election interference, a double standard many observers note. Such sharp jibes from diaspora figures highlight the growing role of social media in foreign‑policy discourse, but they also risk trivialising serious diplomatic dialogue – does the noise help or hinder real change?
