PoliticsAbdul El-Sayed wins Michigan Democratic Senate primary in blow to AIPAC

Physician and progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed has won Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary, defeating four-term Congresswoman Haley Stevens. His victory came despite tens of millions of dollars spent by pro-Israel groups supporting Stevens’s campaign. The result highlights divisions inside the Democratic Party over Israel’s position in the war in Gaza as the party searches for direction under Trump’s second presidency. El-Sayed will face Republican Mike Rogers in November’s general election. He has pledged to protect Jewish safety while drawing criticism from Trump.
