Democrats rally behind progressive El-Sayed after Michigan primary win

Democrats have united behind progressive Abdul El-Sayed after his narrow victory in Michigan's Senate primary, with leaders Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand pledging to defeat Republican Mike Rogers. El-Sayed, a former public health official, won 48.5% to 47.5% over rival Haley Stevens, despite establishment backing for Stevens. The race highlighted divisions over Israel, with El-Sayed opposing military aid. Democrats see Michigan as crucial to retaking the Senate, though Rogers paints El-Sayed as too far left.
