Is the Next Mamdani in Michigan?

Playbook: “The next front in the Democratic Party’s civil war over its identity runs through Michigan, where the Senate primary displays the disparate branches of the party, all with their own ideas about how to return from the wilderness.”

“Progressives have been emboldened by Abdul El-Sayed’s surging position in the fractious three-way race against Rep. Haley Stevens and state Sen. Mallory McMorrow. Their hopes have only been supercharged following a string of victories in New York.”

The Wall Street Journal reports that retiring Sen. Gary Peters  (D-MI) “has told associates that he believes Democrats need to coalesce around one candidate to face El-Sayed in the primary and has suggested that McMorrow needs to consider dropping out of the race.”
