Abdul El-Sayed wins Michigan Democratic primary for Senate in blow to AIPAC

Abdul El-Sayed, a physician and progressive candidate, defeated four-term Congresswoman Haley Stevens despite tens of millions of dollars spent by pro-Israel groups backing her campaign. His win exposes rifts within the Democratic Party over its stance on Israel's war on Gaza as it seeks direction under Trump's second presidency. El-Sayed will face Republican Mike Rogers in November's general election, having pledged commitment to Jewish safety while facing criticism from Trump, who called him "a communist loser."
