Leftist El-Sayed narrowly wins high-profile Michigan Democratic Senate primary

Summary

Progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed narrowly won Michigan's Democratic US Senate primary, US media projected, handing the party's left wing a significant victory in a pivotal battleground state. The upset over establishment-backed Haley Stevens is expected to sharpen debate over the Democrats' direction on economic populism, healthcare and support for Israel ahead of November's midterm elections.
