El-Sayed Wins Michigan Senate Race | Roanoke News

Abdul El-Sayed just pulled off a stunning upset, winning the Michigan Democratic Senate nomination over Congresswoman Haley Stevens — a major victory for progressives and a critical step toward flipping the Senate. After losing his 2018 gubernatorial bid in a landslide, El-Sayed is now back with a vengeance, running on bold platforms like Medicare for All, ending U.S. military aid to Israel, and campaign finance reform — backed by heavyweights like Bernie Sanders and AOC. Stevens, seen as more moderate and supported by Schumer and massive outside cash including AIPAC’s record spending, campaigned on manufacturing and economic stability. Now, El-Sayed faces Republican Mike Rogers in November — a must-win battle for Democrats, as Michigan’s seat could tip the Senate balance. With GOP cash flooding in and unity needed across the party, El-Sayed’s path to victory hinges on rallying voters behind a message that’s both progressive and practical — and he’s calling for all hands on deck to beat Rogers.
