Billionaire Donors Target El-Sayed in Michigan Senate Primary, Sanders Says
TL;DR Summary
Sen. Bernie Sanders framed Michigan's Democratic Senate primary as a clash with the billionaire class, rallying for Abdul El-Sayed as outside groups pour roughly $50 million to defeat him—outspending El-Sayed about 12-to-1. El-Sayed is backed by Sanders and progressive figures like AOC, while Haley Stevens is supported by Senate Minority Leader Schumer and ex-Sen. Gary Peters. The Aug. 4 primary is viewed as a proxy fight between progressive and establishment wings, with the winner set to face Republican Mike Rogers; Mallory McMorrow ended her campaign earlier, leaving a Stevens-El-Sayed contest.
