US Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed scored an important victory against incumbent House Representative Haley Stevens in Michigan's Democratic primary, a closely watched contest that pitted progressives against moderates of the US party.
El-Sayed, who represents the leftwing progressives, narrowly defeated the moderate leaning Stevens 48.5% to 47.5%.
He will go on to face Republican incumbent Senator Mike Rogers in a seat that Democratic party must win if they hope to take control of the US Senate this November in the midterm elections.
