(AURN News) — There’s a new name to know in the fight for the U.S. Senate: Abdul El-Sayed.
Michigan Democrats handed him the nomination over four-term Rep. Haley Stevens in a primary decided by less than 1 percentage point.
Younger, more progressive voters lined up behind El-Sayed, while established figures such as Michigan Gov.
Outside groups poured tens of millions of dollars into the race to boost Stevens, but El-Sayed won anyway.
The result is being viewed nationally as a sign of growing grassroots energy within the Democratic Party’s progressive wing.
