El-Sayed wins Michigan Democratic Senate primary

Abdul El-Sayed, a left-wing outsider and son of Egyptian immigrants, is projected to win Michigan's Democratic Senate primary, defeating moderate Congresswoman Haley Stevens. If elected in November, he would be the first Muslim US senator. El-Sayed supports universal healthcare, abolishing ICE, and ending unconditional US military aid to Israel. He will face Republican Mike Rogers in the midterm elections, which will determine the balance of power in Washington for the final two years of President Trump's term.
