The NPR Politics Podcast · Progressives had a good night in Michigan · 5 Aug 2026 podcast

In Metro Detroit, in her home county, she came out with about 52% of the vote.

Well, that's the hard part, right?

Because Stephen's campaign was about we need to unite.

We need to beat Mike Rogers, the Republican nominee in November.

That was her campaign from the beginning.

That was much of her message yesterday, even when she ended the party thinking she had a serious chance at winning.

And so a lot of folks I talked to said that they were going to support the other person.

Now, there's also folks who El-Sayed has rubbed the wrong way, especially around his criticisms of Israel.

You know, there's a sizable Jewish population in Metro Detroit that Democrats have also counted on for a long time, who, you know, some folks are concerned could be turned off by Abdul's style, especially campaigning with people like streamer Hassan Piker.

You saw Donovan McKinney, a two-term state representative, take on incumbent Sri Tanidar.

And he ended up winning that vote.

And again, McKinney ran a campaign from the left of Tanidar.

So when you talk about can progressive politics win in Michigan, this is still the same city, the same district that voted mostly for Stevens.

McKinney was able to unseat Sri Tanidar, who also had benefited from AIPAC money in his career.

And so...

There's a lot of different factors here.

There have been criticisms ahead of the last campaign that Tanadar hadn't been showing up for his constituents and that people were having trouble reaching his office.

There was criticisms that last time around he had won that Democratic primary because of heavy APEC spending.

I think there's a lot going on here.

I don't want to discount just the fact that McKinney is black and Tanadar is Indian American.
