Abdul El-Sayed's insurgent bid turns Michigan Senate primary into Democratic stress test

Associated Press · back to the audit
Michigan Democrats vote Tuesday in a closely watched Senate primary between moderate U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens and progressive favorite Abdul El-Sayed, with the winner heading to a November contest critical to the party's hopes of reclaiming the Senate majority.

The campaign has become a proxy battle between the party's establishment and progressive wings.

Groups backing Stevens have spent more than $50 million, including more than $30 million from AIPAC and affiliates.

El-Sayed has called his campaign a love letter to Michigan.

It's a Michigan moment for me, baby.

The rich keep getting hyper-rich on the backs of figuring out how to monetize everyday people.

I want to see a change.

A critical part of my team.
