Abdul El-Sayed SQUEAKS through with Michigan win as anguished Dems panic battleground seat may slip away
Progressive insurgent Abdul El-Sayed has been declared the winner of Tuesday’s rollercoaster Democratic primary for US Senate by NBC News.
El-Sayed’s slim victory over Congresswoman Haley Stevens is the most emphatic sign to date that the progressive wing of the Democratic Party is on the ascent, but not without baggage.
His single-point win will also raise new questions about whether his strength among base voters can translate to a general election this fall, as Democrats look to flip four seats necessary to secure a majority in the upper chamber.
DSA won Michigan US. Senate Primary this guy not gonna win.. statewide. 🤦🏽♂️ https://t.co/dk8hHrbB6s
