[Mike Rogers @MikeRogersForMI]

My statement on Michigan’s Democrat Nominee for U.S. Senate:

[Caitrin Assaf @caitrinassaf]

After addressing supporters last night as the race was far too close to call, Rep. Haley Stevens appears to concede via X as AP officially calls the race for El-Sayed.

[Haley Stevens @HaleyforMI]

I love Michigan and am so proud to have put up my hand to serve. I spoke with Abdul a few moments ago to offer him my full support as we work to defeat Mike Rogers this November.

Thank you, Michigan. https://t.co/xVnIAFBqLl

[Dr. Abdul El-Sayed @AbdulElSayed]

Money out of politics.
Money in your pocket.
Medicare for All.

Michigan...

We won. I am so proud to be your Democratic nominee for US Senate. Let's win in November.

[Caitrin Assaf @caitrinassaf]

It took nearly 99% of votes to be counted for the AP to call this race for @AbdulElSayed, with a difference between the two candidates of just about 15,000 votes. @GrayDCnews

[The Associated Press @AP]

Abdul El-Sayed won Michigan's Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate, defeating U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens in a victory for the party's progressive wing in a battleground state. https://t.co/BEq0d865jq

The Secret Service screening area will reopen shortly. Everyone who evacuated the site will go through screening again. The Secret Service is working to make screening as smooth as possible. Our bag restriction and prohibited items list remains the same. For programming information, continue to monitor @Freedom250.

America, it's time to celebrate!

At President Donald J. Trump's direction, gates to the National Mall will reopen at 9:45 PM. The Salute to America celebration will move forward, the President will deliver remarks at 11:00 PM, and the fireworks spectacular will follow.

Rain or shine, the American people deserve a celebration worthy of our nation's historic 250th birthday.

For 250 years, Americans have overcome every challenge with grit, resilience, and determination. A little rain will never diminish our pride, our patriotism, or our celebration of the greatest nation in the history of the world.
