PoliticsLeftist Democrat urges unity after defeating establishment candidate in Michigan primary

Progressive Democrat Abdul El-Sayed defeated centrist rival Haley Stevens in Michigan’s Senate primary. He will meet Republican challenger Mike Rogers in the midterm election. El-Sayed’s left-wing platform includes universal healthcare, higher taxes on billionaires and corporations, and ending military aid to Israel. The result points to a growing leftward movement among American Democrats. However, the narrow margin of victory has reportedly left members of the party establishment worried.
