Five states hold primary elections today.
The marquee race will be in Michigan, where Democrats see holding an open Senate seat as essential to reclaim the chamber.
First, Democrats decide where to place their bet.
In a primary, they choose between two candidates to take on Republican Mike Rogers.
NPR congressional reporter Sam Greenglass joins us from Petoskey, Michigan.
Sam, what's it been like on the campaign trail?
Hey, I've talked with maybe 50 voters in the last two weeks from the Detroit River to Lake Michigan at a UAW picnic, local Democratic clubs, community events, and it is hard to overstate how tense this race has become.
And a big reason for that is because it has turned into this proxy for so many of the debates roiling the party right now.
You know, establishment versus insurgent, further left versus more moderate.
So speaking of that, where do the two candidates sit on those lines?
There is Congresswoman Haley Stevens.
She flipped a suburban house district in 2018 and has focused on her crossover appeal and support for Michigan manufacturing.
She's got support from Michigan heavyweights like Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
Stephen's opponent is former public health official Abdul El-Sayed.
He's backed by the left's biggest stars like Senator Bernie Sanders.
and is running on Medicare for All and eliminating corporate money from politics, he has criticized millions of dollars from the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC flooding the race against him.
The problem too often with the Democratic Party is that we have an instinct to say the right thing, but we're bought off by the people who are on the side of doing the wrong thing.
And so we're constantly hedging and pulling punches.
And so this race will test whether a candidate on the left like Al-Sayed can prevail in a battleground state.
Sam, you mentioned all of these tensions.
