  "account": "Former Michigan health official Abdul El-Sayed has been projected by CBS News to win the Democratic Senate primary in Michigan, defeating Rep. Haley Stevens. The primary race was closely watched as it highlighted the divisions within the Democratic Party, with El-Sayed running a left-leaning campaign and securing the support of prominent progressives like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders. Stevens, a moderate, received endorsements from Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and former Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. El-Sayed will face former Rep. Mike Rogers in the November general election, while Stevens congratulated El-Sayed and pledged her support for his upcoming campaign against Rogers.",
  "summary": "Former state health official Abdul El-Sayed faced Rep. Haley Stevens in the Democratic Senate primary in Michigan in a closely watched contest that represented the latest test of the party's divisions.",
