PoliticsAhead of the midterms, Democrats face a reckoning in Michigan’s primary

Michigan Democrats are voting in a Senate primary that has drawn attention far beyond the state. The contest has become a proxy battle over the Democratic Party’s direction ahead of the November midterm elections. Its significance is heightened by Michigan’s status as a swing state. The state holds one of the few Senate seats that Republicans could potentially flip and win. The high-profile race is therefore being watched as a test of the party’s future.
