Chris Smith: “I have seen the Democratic Party’s future and its name is Mallory McMorrow. Millions of other people have also seen McMorrow, of course. Three years ago, she leapt from obscurity as a first-term Michigan state senator to become a viral and cable-news star by delivering a searing, heartfelt speech in the state capitol. During those remarks, McMorrow ripped an unfounded Republican attempt to brand her a pedophile and called out the broader right-wing campaign to demonize marginalized people.”
“Now 38 years old and the mother of a four-year-old daughter, McMorrow is on the verge of going national again—in two ways. The first arrives next week as a book, titled Hate Won’t Win, a part memoir, part how-to guide for despondent Democrats. The second push is in the works: A likely 2026 run for Michigan’s soon-to-be vacant US Senate seat.”
