> Abdul El-Sayed will face Mike Rogers in the Michigan Senate race. The contest could play a role in determining which party controls the US Senate. Turnout in the Michigan primary has already surpassed levels recorded in earlier Senate and gubernatorial primaries. State records also show it exceeded turnout in nearly every presidential primary dating back at least to 1978.
