Warren backs El-Sayed in Michigan Senate race

Warren backs El-Sayed as he seeks a grassroots edge in a crowded Democratic race for a Senate seat critical to party control.

  • On Monday, Senator Elizabeth Warren endorsed Abdul El-Sayed for the Michigan Democratic Senate nomination, praising him as the "fighter" Michigan needs in the Senate and highlighting his grassroots campaign against corporate influence.
  • El-Sayed is running against Rep. Haley Stevens to replace retiring Senator Gary Peters in the August 4 primary, a contest highlighting deep divisions between the Democratic Party's progressive and moderate wings.
  • Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez campaigned with El-Sayed on Sunday, signaling progressive consolidation. Warren's endorsement follows the earlier exit of former candidate Mallory McMorrow from the race.
  • Establishment figures, including former Senator Debbie Stabenow and retiring Senator Gary Peters, have endorsed Stevens, creating a public split between the Democratic Party's leadership and progressive factions.
  • The winner of the August 4 primary will face Republican former Representative Mike Rogers in the general election later this year, making this Michigan race critical to Democratic hopes of regaining Senate control.
