TL;DR
Michigan’s Democratic U.S. Senate primary drew a record non-presidential turnout (over 1.2 million ballots), as Abdul El-Sayed and Haley Stevens vie for the nomination to face Republican Mike Rogers. With results still tight, Detroit-area Wayne County’s absentee and in‑person votes could swing the outcome, and a final call may come early Wednesday morning as vote counting continues. The race is key for Democrats’ effort to win a Senate majority, with broader election coverage also unfolding across states.
