The battle is still close. The picture is already pretty clear: Al Sayed is expected to be the Democratic Party's nominee for the Senate election from Michigan. After counting 95% of the votes in the Democratic primaries for the Senate candidate from Michigan: Al Sayed - 48.7
Hayley Stevens - 47.3 The glass is half full, literally, only half of the Democratic voters in Michigan agree with Al Sayed's anti-Israel attitude. So maybe our situation isn't really that bad in the Democratic Party? For now.

The polls predicted an easy victory for the anti-Israel candidate Abdul-Sayed - but right now the gap is very close [in reply to: Michigan race: 45% of votes counted - and the battle over who will be the Democratic candidate in the Senate election is very close]
Live: Dr. Abdul El-Sayed and Haley Stevens are locked in a tight battle for the Democratic Senate nomination in Michigan. El-Sayed, who led by nearly 30 percentage points earlier in the night, has seen his advantage shrink to less than four percentage points. He is winning in-person votes — including both early and Election Day ballots — by roughly 25 percentage points, while Stevens is carrying mail-in ballots by a similar margin.
Live: El-Sayed’s election night party in Detroit erupted with cheers as TV screens flashed to results showing two Michigan progressives, William Lawrence and Donavan McKinney, holding leads in Democratic House primaries. But when the screens flashed to the Senate race, showing El-Sayed with a narrow lead over Stevens, it grew quiet. There is an anxiousness, mixed with excitement, at the venue, a century-old concert hall.

How did this market resolve?
Primary elections in Michigan are scheduled to be held on August 4, 2026.
This market will resolve according to the margin of victory between the top two candidates in the first round of the Michigan Democratic Senate Primary.
For the purpose of this market, the “margin of victory” is defined as the absolute difference between the percentages of valid votes received by the first- and second-place candidates. Percentages of the valid votes received by each candidate will be determined by dividing the total number of valid votes each of the top two candidates receives by the sum of all valid votes cast in the election.
If the reported value falls exactly between two brackets, then this market will resolve to the higher margin bracket.
If two candidates receive the exact same highest number of valid votes and both are listed, this market will resolve to the lowest bracket for the tied candidate whose last name comes first alphabetically. If only one of the tied candidates is listed, this market will resolve to the lowest bracket for that listed candidate. If neither tied candidate is listed, this market will resolve to “Other.”
This market will resolve based on the official vote count once the count has been made official.
If the results of the specified election are not known definitively by November 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to “Other”.
The primary resolution source for this market will be information from the State of Michigan, such as official statewide results published by the Michigan Secretary of State (https://www.michigan.gov/sos); however, an overwhelming consensus of credible reporting may suffice.
If a recount is initiated before the vote total has been made official, the market will remain open until the recount is completed and the vote is made official.
