Progressive Abdul El-Sayed wins Democratic primary in Michigan, a key battle for the party's future
El aspirante a senador, muy crítico con Israel y defensor de la sanidad pública universal, logra una victoria muy ajustada tras 13 horas de conteo
It took 13 hours of vote counting for it to finally be known who the U.S. Democrats will send to fight for Michigan's open congressional seat in November's midterm elections. After a heart-stopping night in which the differences were narrowing to the minimum, AP and CNN called progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed the winner with 48.5 percent of the vote. The battle reflects how divided the party is between its two souls, as well as the rise of the leftist sector demanding change.
