Progressives face key test in Michigan Senate primary

Voters in Michigan, Kansas, Missouri, Virginia and Washington head to the polls Tuesday for primaries that will set the stage for November’s midterms. The most-watched race is Michigan’s Senate contest, where progressive Abdul El-Sayed faces moderate Haley Stevens. A win for El-Sayed would mark progressives’ biggest victory this cycle and could signal Democratic voters’ early leanings for the 2028 presidential primary.
