> U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens and progressive Abdul El-Sayed are competing closely for the Democratic Senate nomination in Michigan. El-Sayed says it is too early to claim victory while the contest remains unresolved. The primary has become one of the most expensive campaigns in the country. It also serves as a proxy fight between the Democratic Party’s establishment and progressive wings.
