2:41Now PlayingProgressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed has been declared the winner of Michigan's closely watched Democratic Senate primary, narrowly beating out Congressmember Haley Stevens. AIPAC and its affiliated groups spent as much as $46 million to help Stevens in what became the most expensive Democratic Senate primary contest in U.S. history.
El-Sayed's success represents "a movement of Americans who are saying, 'Enough of politics as usual,'" says Andy Levin, a former Democratic congressmember from Michigan who lost to Stevens in 2022 after AIPAC spent $4.3 million on her campaign.
