DETROIT, MI (Gambling911.com) - Abdul El-Sayed was still priced at -2500 odds to win the Michigan Democratic primary Monday afternoon, just hours before polls open. These odds imply E-Sayed has a 96% chance of winning.
His opponent, Haley Stevens, pays out $800 for every $100 bet.
The primary has become one of the clearest tests yet of where Democratic voters want their party to go. El-Sayed, a progressive backed by Sen. Bernie Sanders and other leaders on the party's left, has run against much of the Democratic establishment. Stevens, a four-term congresswoman backed by Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer and many of Michigan's top Democrats, has made electability and experience central to her case.
The stakes extend well beyond the primary. The nominee will need to bring a fractured Democratic coalition back together to defeat Republican Mike Rogers in November and hold an open seat that is critical to the party's hopes of taking control of the Senate next year.
