Former Michigan health official Abdul El-Sayed, who is now projected to win the state's Democratic Senate primary, said Wednesday that "there's a lot of healing to do after a hard-fought primary like this." El-Sayed, 41, has been locked in a heated primary against Rep. Haley Stevens in the Great Lakes State for the Democratic nomination in a key Senate contest. The winner of the primary will face off against former Rep. Mike Rogers in November, who ran unopposed in the primary after narrowly losing to Sen. Elissa Slotkin in the 2024 race for Michigan's other Senate seat. Michigan, traditionally a Democratic state which hasn't elected a Republican to the Senate since 1994, has voted for President Trump twice. "Mike Rogers is a guy who wants to put more money in politics," El-Sayed claimed.
