Abdul El-Sayed, a progressive Democrat, has won a closely contested primary election in Michigan. He defeated moderate congresswoman Haley Stevens, according to a report by France 24.
The primary result carries national significance. El-Sayed could help Democrats swing control of the US Senate in the upcoming midterm elections. Michigan is considered a key battleground in American politics, and the choice of a progressive candidate may affect the party’s chances in that chamber.
