MichiganThe Associated Press this morning called the Michigan Senate Democratic primary: Abdul El-Sayed won a much closer than expected victory over Haley Stevens. The last time Michigan Democrats had a semi-competitive primary was in 2024. On the rural counties, it’s a mixed bag for El-Sayed. He did well in places like Iron and Marquette Counties while Stevens won most of the rural counties. Encouraged by this showing, James ran it back in 2020 for the other Michigan Senate seat.
