> Two Democrats are competing to become the party’s choice to seek Michigan’s Senate seat in November. The contest is portrayed as larger than the race itself, setting progressives against moderates within the party. It is also viewed as a reckoning over how Democrats should proceed in swing states. That debate could shape the party’s approach ahead of the 2028 presidential election.
