Michigan Primary Could Decide Senate Control | Annapolis News

With less than 100 days to go, the 2024 midterms are heating up, especially in the Senate race where Michigan’s Democratic primary could be make-or-break. Progressive Abdul El-Sayed faces centrist Haley Stevens for Gary Peters’ seat — a battle that could reveal whether Democrats can unite behind a candidate who appeals to both base and moderate voters. A win for El-Sayed might energize progressives but risk alienating moderates, while Stevens could offer a safer bet against Republican Mike Rogers — but even a small turnout drop could cost them. Beyond Michigan, Democrats need to flip four Senate seats, including uncertain races in North Carolina and Maine, and tough toss-ups in Iowa, Alaska, Ohio, and Texas — all while battling Republicans’ massive fundraising edge. In the House, Democrats look favored thanks to inflation and historical trends, but the Senate remains a tight race, forcing tough spending decisions as the clock ticks down.
