Abdul El-Sayed, a progressive candidate running in Michigan's Democratic Primary, has defeated centrist Congresswoman Haley Stevens and will face Republican Mike Rogers this fall. Stevens, supported by the party's establishment, was beaten despite outspending El-Sayed by 11 to 1.
El-Sayed overcame a nearly $65 million onslaught of outside money and an establishment that had rallied around Stevens.
