13:39Now PlayingThe three progressive candidates in Michigan, including Abdul El-Sayed, all won their primary races on Tuesday night.
The wins represent a significant shift for a key battleground state in November.
LiveNOW’s Andy Mac spoke with political analyst Brian Sobel about El-Sayed’s victory and what it means for the midterms.
MORE:
Three progressive Democratic candidates backed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) won their respective races in Michigan: Abdul El-Sayed in the Senate, William Lawrence in the 7th Congressional district, and Donavan McKinney in the 13th Congressional district.
Abdul El-Sayed’s victory over Haley Stevens was ultimately so narrow that it wasn’t assured until almost all ballots cast statewide were counted. At the time AP declared him the winner, El-Sayed led Stevens by 14,893 votes — a margin of just under 1 percentage point — out of more than 1.5 million ballots counted.
El-Sayed will face off against Mike Rogers in November.
Michigan is a must-win Senate race for Democrats as it will help decide which party controls the chamber in the last two years of President Donald Trump’s term.
