Michigan offers a battle between the party's establishment and progressive wings, drawn more than $80 million in spending and sparked several personal attacks. Recent polls show El-Sayed with a decisive lead. Stevens has the backing of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, retiring Sen. Gary Peters and Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer. El-Sayed has accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza. El-Sayed campaigned alongside Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. An El-Sayed win would be a major test for the party's left flank this fall. Can they win a general election for a swing-state seat the party likely must hold to have a chance of flipping the Senate?
