Progressive outsider El-Sayed wins Michigan Democratic Senate primary, eyes November showdown

Left-wing outsider Abdul El-Sayed narrowly won Michigan's Democratic Senate primary over Haley Stevens, edging toward a November showdown with Republican Mike Rogers and potentially becoming the first Muslim US senator. The result underscored intra-party tensions over Medicare for All and money in politics, while El-Sayed and Stevens clashed on Israel policy—El-Sayed advocating less US involvement and Stevens supporting continued US aid—before Stevens conceded and endorsed El-Sayed for the general election.
