Top Democrats set aside qualms and embrace progressive Abdul El-Sayed
Democrats embraced progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed after his Michigan Senate primary win, aiming to challenge Republican nominee Mike Rogers. A Democratic victory in Michigan is critical for their hopes of retaking the Senate in November, which could block Trump's legislative agenda and judicial nominees. Rogers previously lost a Senate race in Michigan to Democrat Elissa Slotkin.
