Warren backs El-Sayed in Michigan Senate primary, fueling left-led bid

Sen. Elizabeth Warren endorsed Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan's Democratic Senate primary, joining a roster of progressive backers like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders. The endorsement elevates El-Sayed in a race against Rep. Haley Stevens to replace retiring Sen. Gary Peters, who backs Stevens. Warren framed El-Sayed as a grassroots fighter who won’t take corporate money, highlighting outside spending against Stevens and positioning El-Sayed as the strongest bet to energize a November win against a Republican opponent (Mike Rogers). The piece also notes ongoing Capitol updates, including legislative maneuvering in the House.
