Michigan Election Results Live Updates: El-Sayed Holds Narrow Lead Over Stevens in Senate Primary

Key Points:

• Dr. El-Sayed and Ms. Stevens are locked in a close Democratic primary race, with El-Sayed narrowly leading and both candidates optimistic about their chances; the winner will face Republican Mike Rogers in the general election to succeed retiring Senator Gary Peters.
• In Missouri, establishment Democrat Wesley Bell defeated progressive Cori Bush in a primary, while in Michigan, progressive William Lawrence won a Democratic primary in a competitive district, highlighting ongoing tensions between moderates and progressives within the party.
• Michigan's 7th Congressional District race is a key battleground, with Lawrence, backed by Bernie Sanders and running on a left-wing populist platform, poised to challenge Republican incumbent Tom Barrett, who has President Trump's endorsement.
• Kansas' gubernatorial race features populist Democrat Cindy Holscher against Republican Ty Masterson, backed by Trump; the race is critical as Kansas is a traditionally Republican state with a Democratic governor, Laura Kelly, who is term-limited.
• Missouri voters will face a constitutional amendment requiring a majority in each congressional district to pass citizen-sponsored amendments, a move seen as an attempt by the Legislature to limit ballot initiatives, including those on reproductive rights and minimum wage.
