Abdul El-Sayed is the first Democrat to win statewide in Michigan without carrying Wayne, Oakland or Macomb since Bernie Sanders in 2016.
Think about what that tells you!
Bridge Michigan looked at the state's 12 biggest counties with large Black populations. Stevens won seven of them by an average of 8.5 points. Wayne. Saginaw. Genesee.
