How the Michigan odds have moved
This market has swung more than most. El-Sayed briefly hit 74% on Kalshi on October 6 after a rally with Barack Obama, then dropped to 67% after the first debate in early October. He climbed back to 69% by mid-October and edged up to 70% after the final debate in Detroit.
The candidates
Abdul El-Sayed (D) is the former Wayne County health director. He won a close Democratic primary on August 4 with 48.5% of the vote, after Rep. Haley Stevens stayed in the race and state Sen. Mallory McMorrow withdrew in July.
Mike Rogers (R) is a former congressman making his second run for the Senate.
What the polls say
The polls are close. A Marist poll released on October 21 had El-Sayed ahead 50% to 48% among likely voters, inside the margin of error. Other October surveys ranged from a two-point to a six-point El-Sayed lead. The market's 79% reflects that steady advantage.
Why Michigan matters
Democrats need a net gain of four seats to win the Senate, so every Democratic seat they lose raises the bar. Michigan is one of two Democratic-held seats in states President Trump won in 2024, and Republicans haven't won a Senate race there since 1994. It's also become the most expensive Senate race in the state's history. See the full picture on our US politics odds page.
