El-Sayed Wins Michigan Senate Race | Toronto News

Abdul El-Sayed has pulled off a stunning upset, winning the Democratic nomination for Michigan’s Senate race against incumbent Haley Stevens in one of the most expensive primaries ever—costing over $80 million. Running on bold platforms like Medicare for All, abolishing ICE, and opposing U.S. aid to Israel, El-Sayed is now poised to become the first Muslim elected to the U.S. Senate if he wins November’s general election. He’s calling for unity across the party and even reaching out to voters who backed Kamala Harris or Donald Trump, framing the race around affordability and healthcare. Facing off against GOP challenger Mike Rogers—who believes the primary weakened El-Sayed’s electability—El-Sayed plans multiple debates, accusing Rogers of being beholden to corporate interests and Trump. Backed by progressive icons like Bernie Sanders and AOC, El-Sayed is ready to fight for a historic win in a swing state that recently voted Republican.
