Progressive Abdul El-Sayed won Michigan's Democratic U.S. Senate primary, narrowly defeating Rep. Haley Stevens.
If El-Sayed wins in November, he'd be the first Muslim U.S. senator.
He was heavily outspent.
Outside money in the race reportedly topped $60 million, with AIPAC and allied pro-Israel groups the largest backers of Stevens.
The result is a notable progressive win against heavy establishment spending.
