In Michigan, the Democratic Senate primary race remains too close to call, with former public health official El-Sayed holding a narrow lead over Congresswoman Haley Stevens. The vote count is expected to continue throughout the day. Separately, Republican Congressman Chuck Edwards of North Carolina has withdrawn from his reelection campaign. This decision follows a determination by the House ethics committee that he fostered a hostile work environment and engaged in sexual harassment by giving gifts and lavishing attention on two young female staffers. Edwards stated he will complete his current term.
