Política · Michigan Senate PrimaryCom gastos nove vezes menores, El-Sayed vence em Michigan nas primárias para o Senado mais caras da históriaEscrito 7 de setembro de 2026 às 21:22 UTCAssistirTranscrição0:00A progressive outspent 10 to 1 just won0:02rural northern Michigan. That agenda,0:04Medicare for all, making billionaires0:06pay more, and stopping US arms sales to0:08Israel is now on the November ballot in0:09a purple state where the Senate seat0:11helps decide control of the chamber. Can0:13a coalition that carried the rural north0:14survive a statewide general election0:16fight over electability? The money was0:18not close. [music] Total ad spending and0:20reservations reached about 98.2 million0:23dollars, the third most expensive Senate0:25primary in the country at that point,0:27with outside groups accounting for about0:2888% [music] of all spending. The gap was0:31structural. About 63.9 million dollars0:33in ad support lined up for0:34establishment-backed Representative0:36Haley Stevens,0:37>> [music]0:37>> about 78% of the total, against about0:397.5 million dollars for Abdul El-Sayed.0:41[music]0:42Nearly all of Stevens' support, about0:4460.5 million dollars, came from outside0:46[music] groups including the United0:47Democracy Project affiliated with AIPAC,0:50which ran ads for Stevens and against0:51El-Sayed.0:52>> [music]0:52>> El-Sayed's own campaign spent about 5.20:55million dollars on ads, more than0:57Stevens' campaign itself, but dwarfed by0:59the outside money against him. Stevens1:01ran with the party structure behind her.1:03She was endorsed by Senator Gary Peters,1:05former Senator Debbie Stabenow, and1:07Governor Gretchen Whitmer, what1:08panelists described as the entire1:10Democratic establishment. Mallory1:12McMorrow suspended her campaign, drew1:14about 4% statewide, and about 2.2% in1:17metro Detroit, then endorsed El-Sayed.1:19The outcome was razor-thin and1:21geographically wide. The Associated1:23Press called it for El-Sayed with 99%1:26counted by about one percentage point,1:28about 48.5%1:3047.5%1:32with raw totals still unavailable1:34because official results pages were not1:35accessible. Place is the contradiction.1:37[music]1:38El-Sayed carried 30 of Michigan's 831:40counties, including nine in the upper1:42peninsula and nine north of Grand1:44Rapids.1:44>> [music]1:45>> He topped 60% in college towns like1:47Washtenaw and Kent and won about 59% of1:49early voters in Wayne, Oakland, and1:51Macomb [music] against about 37.9% for1:54Stevens, offsetting weakness in parts of1:56metro Detroit and in some black [music]1:57populated counties. County math rests on2:00independently reported tallies because2:02official county level certification2:04tables from the Secretary [music] of2:05State were not accessible at2:06verification, and one research memo2:09internally misstated [music]2:10the county figure as nine of 83. A2:12contradiction resolved in favor of the2:1430 [music] county figure that matches2:16the full article citation.2:24For voters, the choice reframes2:25healthcare as a universal guarantee or a2:27market product, [music] makes2:29billionaire taxation a centerpiece, and2:31forces an open debate over US military2:33aid to Israel in a state [music] with a2:35large Arab-American and Jewish2:37population and a deep manufacturing2:39economy. [music] Panelists questioned2:41whether that agenda can win statewide in2:43November and whether Republicans will2:45nationalize the race [music] as common2:46sense versus communism or socialism.2:49Republican Mike Rogers has already2:51called Elsayed [music] a threat and2:52dangerous, and outside tracking showed2:55about $17.1 million in ad support2:57already reserved for Rogers [music] for2:59the general election. No final certified3:01totals, no definitive spending3:03reconciliation, and no polling proving a3:05rural primary win predicts a statewide3:08win were provided.
