Episode Details

Abdul El-Sayed pulled off a razor-thin win in Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary, barely edging out his opponent by under one percent — a victory that signals a bold new direction for the state’s party, backed by Bernie Sanders and joined by fellow progressives William Lawrence and Donavan McKinney. With record-breaking turnout — over half a million more voters casting ballots than in the GOP primary — it’s clear Michiganders are hungry for bold policy like Medicare for All and campaign finance reform. El-Sayed, the anti-establishment challenger, now faces off against Mike Rogers, while moderate Democrats including Haley Stevens have publicly endorsed him, despite her own establishment ties and AIPAC’s opposition. Meanwhile, Cori Bush’s loss in Missouri underscores how progressive momentum varies across states as November looms.
