News – TPM – Talking Points Memo
Progressive Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed has defeated Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI), the pick of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY).
The acrimonious race has become a microcosm for the bigger questions bedeviling the Democratic primary: Have establishment Democrats 2024ed their way to irrelevance?
Janet Mills’ Maine Senate campaign landed with such a thud that she couldn’t even make it to primary election day.
Stevens and El-Sayed split on major issues: ICE reform versus elimination, improvement of the Affordable Care Act versus Medicare for all, Schumer for leader versus Schumer banished.
El-Sayed will run in the general election against Republican Mike Rogers, a former congressman who narrowly lost to now-Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) in 2024.
