Abdul El-Sayed wins Michigan Senate primary in major victory for Democrats’ progressive wing
El-Sayed won by about 1 percentage point after AIPAC and allied groups spent more than $50 million backing Stevens, AP reported.
- Former public health official Abdul El-Sayed secured a narrow victory over Representative Haley Stevens in Michigan's highly contested Democratic U.S. Senate primary.
- Endorsed by prominent figures including Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, El-Sayed’s victory is viewed as a significant milestone in the ongoing competition between the Democratic Party's progressive wing and its establishment-backed centrist faction.
- In a primary defined by record outside funding and advertising expenditures, El-Sayed ran a grassroots campaign focused on "Medicare for All" and removing corporate money from politics.
- Competing for the seat being vacated by retiring Senator Gary Peters, El-Sayed will face Republican nominee and former U.S. Representative Mike Rogers in the November general election.
