Everything depends on the polls.

If the polls show him winning by a good margin, then the Democrat establishment will back him.
If the polls show him taking a dive, the establishment will find a way to dump him (like the way they did to Platner). Someone will dig up some dirt that does the job.

The polls previous to primary election showed El-Sayed with a commanding lead. Then the actual votes were counted and he just barely won. He won by a plurality, not a majority. Polling is useless........

BRAVE AI:

Abdul El-Sayed received 742,017 votes (48.48%) in the Michigan Democratic Senate primary, defeating Rep. Haley Stevens by a margin of fewer than 15,000 votes. The Associated Press called the race on Wednesday morning with 99% of ballots counted, marking a narrow victory in a contest that saw over 1.5 million total votes cast.

Opponent’s Count: Haley Stevens finished with 727,091 votes (47.51%).

Other Candidates: Former state Senator Mallory McMorrow, who suspended her campaign prior to the election, received 61,344 votes (4.01%).

Significance: The win positions El-Sayed to face Republican Mike Rogers in November for the seat being vacated by retiring Senator Gary Peters.
