No congressional candidate in Democratic history ever had as much outside money dumped on them in one primary as Abdul El-Sayed. But El-Sayed has now survived the onslaught in Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary. Democrats need to keep the Michigan seat that Sen. Gary Peters is retiring from if they hope to take back the Senate. After a polarizing primary, El-Sayed has just three months to consolidate Democratic support and make his case to independent voters. The Michigan race was UDP’s top priority; the group spent twice as much as it ever had in a single race.
