Progressive Abdul El-Sayed was declared the winner in Michigan’s Senate seat Wednesday morning, after clinging to a narrow lead in an extremely tight race against centrist Rep. Haley Stevens.
A win for El-Sayed, a former public health official, will come as a shock to the Democratic establishment and to American Israel Public Affairs Committee, D.C.’s top Israel lobby group. Stevens, a moderate establishment-backed candidate, has received tens of millions of dollars from AIPAC in support of her campaign.
