Michigan primary puts Democratic divide on the ballot
Michigan's Democratic primary features Abdul El-Sayed, a leftist backed by Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, narrowly leading centrist Haley Stevens, who is supported by Chuck Schumer and Gretchen Whitmer. The race reflects divisions over Israel policy, electability, and the party's future, with the winner facing Mike Rogers in November for a Senate seat vacated by Gary Peters. Results could influence Democrats' chances to gain Senate control.
