Abdul El-Sayed won the U.S. Senate Democrat primary in Michigan, narrowly beating Rep. Haley Stevens, who wasn’t expected to have a chance last night. So, yes, the far Left has its victory, so to speak: they secured a big primary win. — Craig Mauger (@CraigDMauger) August 5, 2026For former Rep. Mike Rogers, the Republican candidate, you have to be pleased with this result. Stevens often accused El-Sayed of focusing too much on national politics and not enough on Michigan. The July 24 endorsement from Whitmer, who beat El-Sayed in the 2018 Democratic primary for governor, helped underline Stevens’ argument.
