  "account": "The most expensive Democratic Senate primary contest has a winner, with Dr. Abdul El-Sayed narrowly defeating Rep. Haley Stevens in Michigan. This victory comes after AIPAC and other outside groups spent over $18 million to challenge Bush in Missouri and another $98 million in Michigan, making it the costliest race ever. Despite being heavily outspent, El-Sayed secured a win with a vote count surpassing that of Sen. Bernie Sanders in 2016.",
