The Republican plan to flip the current Democratic-held Michigan US Senate seat was to make the election about Abdul El-Sayed instead of Donald Trump, and hope beyond hope that the bruising primary would leave Democrats divided. The odds of Michigan voters being more concerned about El-Sayed than Donald Trump setting the economy on fire were already slim. It also looks like the Democratic division that Republicans needed in the state isn’t going to happen either. Michigan deserves a senator who fights for them, not a career politician chasing his next title. That doesn’t sound like a party divided, but Democrats also immediately put their money and endorsements behind boosting El-Sayed.
