Leftist Democrat urges unity after victory in Michigan

Abdul El-Sayed, a left-wing candidate in Michigan's Senate race, secured the Democratic nomination on Wednesday after a contentious primary. El-Sayed vowed to unite Democrats, noting that "the things that unite us are so much bigger than the things that divide us." Despite facing millions in opposition from Stevens' campaign, including a significant influence from the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC, El-Sayed emerged victorious.

He will face former Republican congressman Mike Rogers in November for a seat crucial to Democrats' hopes of regaining control of the Senate. El-Sayed pledged to focus on affordability, health care, and opposition to corporate influence, while challenging Rogers to five debates and accusing him of aligning with Trump and corporate donors.
