Abdul El-Sayed Defeats Haley Stevens and Democrat Establishment, Will Face Republican Mike Rogers
Abdul El-Sayed has defeated establishment Democrat Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI), according to race calls from NBC News and Decision Desk following Tuesday's primary in which the radical transformation of the Democratic Party is center stage.
El-Sayed surged to double-digit leads in most polls with overwhelming grassroots support despite Stevens and establishment allies spending over $30 million on her behalf. Additionally, Stevens earned endorsements from a host of establishment Democrats including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and outgoing Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
With over 95 percent of results in, El-Sayed leads Stevens by approximately 16,000 votes. Mallory McMorrow, who dropped out of the contest and made a primary eve endorsement of El-Sayed, still captured 61,000 votes in the primary.
He will now face Republican Mike Rogers in the midterm election for Michigan's Senate seat.
