Michigan is holding a Democratic Senate primary between Abdul El-Sayed and Rep. Haley Stevens. This primary is seen as a test for the Democratic Party, with some viewing it as a proxy fight over the party's future.
The primary pits a progressive, Abdul El-Sayed, against a moderate, Rep. Haley Stevens. El-Sayed has expressed a desire to end unconditional US military aid to Israel, while Stevens is backed by pro-Israel groups and has been an outspoken supporter of Israel, according to Al-Monitor.
The seat being contested is currently held by Sen. Gary Peters, and the outcome of this primary could shape the battle for control of Congress. Michigan is considered a swing state, making this primary a high-stakes contest with national and international interest.
