Michigan’s insurgent left aims to reshape its primaries

A surge of progressive candidates backed by Bernie Sanders and the Democratic Socialists of America converges on Michigan's primaries: Abdul El-Sayed challenges Haley Stevens for the Senate, Donavan McKinney aims to unseat Shri Thanedar, and Will Lawrence seeks the 7th District nomination, with heavy ground operations and national attention. Sanders is coordinating volunteers, Hasan Piker endorses the effort, and AIPAC is spending a record amount to defeat El-Sayed, underscoring the high-stakes battle for November in a key battleground state.
