MI-SEN: New poll finds Abdul El-Sayed surging in Michigan U.S. Senate primary [View all]
Left-wing candidate Abdul El-Sayed is now leading Michigans Democratic Party primary for U.S. Senate, according to a new poll.
It finds El-Sayed has emerged as the races clear frontrunner with 28% support, ahead of U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens at 18% and state Sen. Mallory McMorrow at 17%.
El-Sayed, a former Detroit and Wayne County health official who unsuccessfully ran for governor in 2018, said the poll shows voters want change from the Democratic Party.
For too long, too many Michiganders have felt like no one in our politics sees them, hears them, or is willing to fight for them. This campaign has always been about changing that, El-Sayed said in a statement. I am deeply grateful to every Michigander who has shared their story, come to an event, volunteered, or taken a chance on this campaign. This momentum belongs to the folks who built it.
