Whitmer and AOC Back Opposing Democrats in Michigan Senate Clash
Primary day is turning into a full-on proxy war for the soul of the Democratic Party.
In Michigan, progressive heavyweights Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are throwing their weight behind Abdul El-Sayed for the open Senate seat. On the other side, outgoing establishment Governor Gretchen Whitmer is backing moderate Representative Haley Stevens.
Whoever survives this primary brawl gets to face former Republican congressman Mike Rogers, who secured Donald Trump's endorsement without even facing a primary opponent. Meanwhile, down in Missouri, former Representative Cori Bush is trying to claw her way back into Congress after getting booted in 2024, proving that primary season never truly runs out of drama.
The internal rift between progressives and moderates is being tested live at the ballot box.
Party unity is always easy to preach right up until voters actually have to pick a side.
