Left-wing political outsider Abdul El-Sayed is projected to win the Democratic Senate primary in Michigan, which exposed bitter divisions over the party’s direction. “We won,” El-Sayed posted on X on Wednesday morning, writing that he was “proud to be your Democratic nominee for US Senate”. “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for US Senate,” Stevens said in a statement. Trump declared the Michigan Senate result “Great news for the Republican Party”. The last time a Republican senator was elected in this Midwestern state was in 1994.
