Abdul El-Sayed, a progressive physician and former Detroit health director who has been an outspoken critic of US support for Israel's war in Gaza, won Michigan's Democratic primary for the US Senate, narrowly defeating Representative Haley Stevens. The result was announced following a closely watched contest in a state with a large Arab American and Muslim population, where anger over Washington's policy toward Gaza has reshaped Democratic politics. El-Sayed's win is being read as a signal of the continued electoral weight of opposition to US backing for Israeli military operations within the Democratic coalition. Stevens had run with backing from more traditional pro-Israel party constituencies. El-Sayed will now advance to the general election contest for the seat.
