  "summary": "The Democratic Senate primary in Michigan is too close to call. According to Decision Desk HQ, Abdul El-Sayed was leading Rep. Haley Stevens by roughly 2 points as of 2 am EDT.\n\nThe Michigan Senate race is seen as a test of the Democratic Party's future. The winner will face Mike Rogers, a former Republican congressman, in November's midterm elections.\n\nThe contest pits El-Sayed's progressive campaign against Stevens, an establishment-backed moderate. According to CNN, with 26% of the estimated vote counted, El-Sayed was leading by 51.2% to 45.2% for Stevens, although Free Malaysia Today and The Hill reported slightly different numbers.",
