> CNN’s Decision Desk projects that Abdul El-Sayed will win the Democratic nomination for the US Senate in Michigan. The result gives progressives a major victory in a battleground primary viewed as important to the party’s effort to regain control of the Senate. El-Sayed, a former Wayne County public health official, defeated Rep. Haley Stevens, a moderate congresswoman from Michigan’s 11th District. The contentious contest was shaped by sharp party divisions over policy, ideology and campaign strategy.
