Michigan Senate tightens as progressives clash with moderates; Lawrence wins MI-07 swing seat

In Michigan, the Democratic Senate primary between Abdul El-Sayed and Haley Stevens is tighter than expected, underscoring a fight over the party’s direction as early results roll in; meanwhile Sunrise Movement’s William Lawrence won Michigan’s 7th District Democratic primary after two moderates split the vote, giving Republicans a preferred opponent in November. Mallory McMorrow endorsed El-Sayed to help unify the party, and early data show El-Sayed performing best in wealthier, educated counties while Stevens leads in working-class areas, highlighting a broader national clash between progressives and moderates ahead of the general election.
