CHICAGO: Michigan Democrats headed to the polls on Tuesday to choose between progressive Abdul El-Sayed and establishment-backed US Rep. Haley Stevens in a fiercely contested primary for the state’s open US Senate seat. El-Sayed, an Egyptian-American public health specialist, and Stevens, a four-term member of Congress, are seeking to succeed retiring Democratic Sen. Gary Peters. The winner will face former Republican congressman Mike Rogers, who is unopposed for his party’s nomination, in the Nov. 3 general election.

Tuesday’s Michigan Senate primary between Haley Stevens and Abdul El-Sayed has become a bitter referendum on many of the fights Democrats are having nationally.

The Squad endorsed Abdul El-Sayed for the Michigan Senate primary. El-Sayed winning by 10-15% now at 30.5% YES.
