How Michigan’s Senate Race Could Influence 2028

“The Senate race in Michigan has become one of the nastiest of the year. It has exposed electoral fault lines over religion, race, inflation, tariffs and, of course, President Trump. It could decide control of the chamber,” the New York Times reports.

“It has also emerged as the year’s most consequential contest for Democrats as they look ahead to 2028.”

“Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee, notched one of the progressive movement’s biggest wins in years when he defeated the party establishment’s choice in the primary. He faces a very different challenge now: a general-election contest that will test moderate and independent voters’ appetite for a combative brand of unalloyed progressivism.”
