Abdul El-Sayed won Michigan’s Democratic U.S. Senate nomination, defeating Rep. Haley Stevens and setting up a November race against Republican Mike Rogers. The roundup also covers other U.S. and international political, health and security developments.
Abdul El-Sayed won Michigan’s Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate, narrowly defeating Rep. Haley Stevens. He will face Republican Mike Rogers in November in a race described as pivotal to Democrats’ chances of flipping the Senate. El-Sayed campaigned on Medicare for All, halting military aid to Israel and campaign finance reform, and had support from Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Wisconsin’s Democratic gubernatorial primary features Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley, endorsed by Gov. Tony Evers, and candidate Francesca Hong.
The roundup reports that Iran and Oman finalized a draft deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, pending approval from Iran’s supreme leader, after President Donald Trump said a deal could be announced soon. It also says a Senate committee is set to vote on whether to hold Anthony Fauci in contempt over his refusal to answer questions at a hearing; Sen. Rand Paul said Fauci’s pardon did not protect him. Other reports cover a U.S. suspension of avocado inspections in Mexico’s Michoacán state, a wildfire response in Greece, and a spreading Ebola outbreak in Congo, where the WHO chief urged a larger response and aid workers were striking over unpaid wages.
The roundup also reports that a man arrested at Trump’s California golf course faces state and federal weapons charges, and that New Mexico sued the Justice Department and acting Attorney General Todd Blanche over the state’s Epstein investigation. The Justice Department said it withheld information to protect victims’ privacy and comply with court rulings.
