Abdul El-Sayed just defeated establishment favorite Haley Stevens in Michigan's Senate primary, despite being outspent nearly 9 to 1. Stevens had the backing of top Democratic leaders.

Now he faces a Trump backed Republican in November, and a party that still needs to heal from a bruising primary.
This race says a lot about where Democratic voters are headed. Tap the link in bio for the full breakdown.
