Left-wing outsider El-Sayed wins Michigan Democratic Senate primary

Left-wing outsider Abdul El-Sayed is projected to win Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary, defeating four-term moderate congresswoman Haley Stevens, according to BBC News. The former public health official, who backs universal healthcare and abolishing ICE, would become America’s first Muslim senator if elected. He will face Republican Trump ally Mike Rogers in November. El-Sayed called for unity across party lines, while Stevens offered her support in a statement praising his background. President Trump celebrated the result on Truth Social. The race exposed deep divisions over the Democratic Party’s future direction ahead of the midterms.
