High-stakes Michigan Democratic Senate primary too close to call

The Michigan Democratic Senate primary concluded with progressive outsider Abdul El-Sayed securing victory over centrist congresswoman Haley Stevens. The contest was initially too close to call, with fewer than 20,000 votes separating the two candidates. El-Sayed, the son of Egyptian immigrants, is positioned to become the first Muslim US senator if elected in November. This result marks a significant win for the left-wing challenger in the high-stakes primary battle for the Senate seat.
