## Summary

Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic candidate for Michigan’s US Senate seat, said he expected to spend Election Day anxiously following results online and visiting polling places. He had already voted absentee, and his comments came during a final campaign rally as he sought to defeat Republican Mike Rogers.

Polling cited in the article showed El-Sayed ahead, though estimates differed: one survey put him about six points ahead and a New York Times/Siena poll put his lead at 11, while other polls showed a closer race. Former Democratic congresswoman Haley Stevens had endorsed Rogers, prompting criticism from party figures and resignations among her former staff. Republicans held 53 Senate seats; Democrats needed to gain at least four to take control.
