Gary Peters' open seat. El-Sayed, a physician and former Detroit health director who ran for governor in 2018, beating a four-term congresswoman suggests Michigan Democrats are still receptive to candidates who run against the party apparatus — even in a midterm year.

Now he has to win moderates and independents to beat the Republican. This is what matters folks. Dems must win to save the democracy! A primary win by a candidate who has a BIG hill to climb to convince non Dems to come out and vote 4 him? And we are celebrating?

V found this claim is false. Elissa Slotkin won the 2024 Michigan Democratic Senate primary over Haley Stevens; Abdul El-Sayed was not the nominee. Real-time fact-checks on your feed: https://veratify.ai Errors or comments: info@veratify.ai

Good news! And it may take another Republican term for the progressive Democrats to gain enough of a foothold in the House and Senate (and state capitols) to produce a viable Presidential challenger, but SO BE IT. Play the long game instead of crumbling in fear about establishment concern-trolling!
