Vice President Vance stated on Wednesday, August 6, 2026, that progressive Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed’s Democratic primary victory in Michigan was primarily driven by affluent liberals rather than working-class voters. This comment came during an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham, one day after El-Sayed defeated Representative Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) in the primary.

Vance highlighted the growing influence of the progressive wing within the Democratic Party but suggested that El-Sayed does not have a strong constituency among the working class in Michigan.
