> Abdul El-Sayed defeated Hailey Stevens in Michigan’s Democratic primary. Political scientist Lara Brown described the Democrats’ search for a new direction after losing the last presidential election as a “completely normal cycle.” Brown said the recent Democratic primaries, including El-Sayed’s victory, do not point to a major overarching narrative beyond the importance of the economy.
