Democrats unite behind Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan Senate bid

Democrats quickly rallied around Abdul El-Sayed after his Michigan Senate primary win, framing him as the key to retaking the chamber against Republican Mike Rogers and stressing unity across the party. Leaders like Schumer, Gillibrand, and Gretchen Whitmer urged support, while Gary Peters backed El-Sayed and Stevens signaled she would campaign for him. Republicans attacked El-Sayed’s progressive views as the race also features debates over Israel policy and major outside groups investing in the contest.
