Abdul el Sayed won the Democratic nomination for Michigan‘s open Senate seat on Tuesday, capping a stunning rise in one of the year’s most closely watched primaries and setting up a general election showdown with Republican Mike Rogers.
The Associated Press called the race for el Sayed at 9:54 a.m. Wednesday. With 99% of the expected vote counted, el Sayed led with 48.5% of the vote to Stevens’s 47.5%. Stevens was quick to endorse el Sayed on Wednesday morning, citing the desire to defeat Rogers in the general election.
