Michigan Democrats have made their choice for the US Senate seat, and it's a surprising upset in the making. Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, a former Detroit health commissioner and 2018 gubernatorial candidate, has edged out Rep. Haley Stevens in the state's Democratic primary. El-Sayed's victory marks a significant shift in the party's direction, as he has positioned himself as a progressive champion of healthcare reform and economic justice. With this win, El-Sayed sets his sights on a general election showdown against the Republican nominee, but he'll need to build momentum and appeal to a broader electorate to secure the seat in November.
Abdul El-Sayed won Michigan's Democratic primary for US Senate, narrowly defeating Rep. Haley Stevens.
