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.
