Why this race matters
Open seat (Senator Gary Peters retiring). Progressive physician Abdul El-Sayed won a bruising August 4 Democratic primary over establishment-backed Rep. Haley Stevens, and now faces Republican Mike Rogers, the former congressman who narrowly lost Michigan's other Senate seat in 2024. A top-tier battleground that could decide Senate control.
