McMorrow Drops Out: What’s Next in Michigan’s Senate Race?

Show notes

Mallory McMorrow just suspended her campaign for the Democratic U.S. Senate primary here in Michigan — in a race the nation is watching.

In an emergency Sunday edition of the podcast, we give local perspective and break down why her run felt off from the start, how a messy CNN interview and a fuzzy message alienated both progressive and establishment voters, and why stepping aside now may actually protect her future options.

Then Norris Howard and I get into what comes next: the party’s clear preference for Haley Stevens, Abdul El-Sayed’s anti-establishment path, harm-reduction voting, generational splits, and why sit-outs (if they happen) from key voters no matter who wins could suddenly give Republican Mike Rogers a real lane.
