8:06Now PlayingUS News: Abdul El-Sayed has pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the 2026 election cycle, defeating establishment favorite Haley Stevens in Michigan's Democratic Senate primary despite facing an unprecedented wave of outside spending. Backed by progressive policies including Medicare for All, affordable housing and an end to unconditional U.S. support for Israel, El-Sayed argued that taxpayer dollars should be invested at home instead of funding overseas wars.
Pro-Israel groups, including AIPAC and allied organizations, spent tens of millions of dollars backing his opponent, yet Michigan Democrats handed El-Sayed a stunning victory. Now, he heads into a high-stakes general election against Republican Mike Rogers in a race that could shape control of the U.S. Senate and redefine the Democratic Party's future.
