I’ve been watching Michigan politics for a long time, and this Abdul El-Sayed vs. Haley Stevens primary feels like the front line of a bigger national reckoning.
With Norris Howard and Devon O’Reilly, we unpack the pissed-off electorate, Whitmer’s data-center problem, and how PAC money and billionaire money are backfiring with voters.
Many think that Michigan is a purple state, full of moderate ideas; and we talk about how voters are more angry than anything else.
In the episode embedded in the player above, we talk about Trump’s underwater numbers, Mike Rogers’ vulnerability, and why running against the Democratic establishment might be the only way Democrats win in November.
If you’re trying to read the Petoskey stones on where this race goes next, we end the show with our coffee bets on who will win and by how much.
