The former public health official has defeated Rep. Haley Stevens, NBC News projects, despite facing a huge advertising disadvantage.

Edit: currently only NBC has called it, I may fall asleep before it gets confirmed by another outlet

Edit 2: Mallory McMorrow has conceded the race to El-Sayed

    On the call, audio of which leaked to NBC News and others, El-Sayed said a victory for him in Michigan could reverberate into 2028 and encourage primary challengers against the likes of Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., who has fallen out of favor with the left. He characterized such a move as putting “an ogre on a pike” — rhetoric that some Democrats believed was targeted at Stevens, though El-Sayed had described Fetterman as an “ogre” in the past.

    Dirty by NBC News, he was clearly referring to Fetterman and Stevens was corrected on this live on local TV by a debate moderator!
