The Opinions · Hello, Democrats? Are You Listening? · 8 Aug 2026 podcast

Uh, Michael, how were you seeing this split in the Michigan race?

So I want us to look a little bit forward here and talk about what El Said needs to do now to unify the party after this this kind of bruising primary.

And and I uh you know, Jamel knows this.

I'm of the mind that okay, you shouldn't necessarily freak out about tough primaries.

I know political types do, but I think it's good for the party.

If you can then turn it around and bring them back together.

And the one thing I want to say before I ask guy I ask you guys to take this over is I'm hoping that because El Said did not romp, he had a tough, scary close.

I mean, he went into election day cocky.

They were thinking they were gonna blow this out, and that was nowhere near what happened.

So I'm hoping that they will.

Take this, develop a little bit of modesty or understand that they have a lot of work to do.

And so I'm hoping we're we're looking at a little bit of course correction going forward, um, in like specifically in response to how close this was.

But Jamel, how how optimistic are you that he can get this done?

How much do we think that voters there were thinking about electability in the fall?

I mean that's always a a complicated calculation.

Yeah, I I think the grand experiment that was going on here, which will obviously have an impact going into twenty twenty eight, uh, based on what happens in November, is I do get the sense that as Jamel says, all the fundamentals are going in Democrats' direction, especially with Trump being just wildly unpopular.

So I think that there's this sense that the time is okay to play around a little bit and not worry

So dramatically about just building the most generic Democrat who can reach the broadest coalition.

But that makes a lot of Democrats nervous that you'll wind up with someone who winds up too extreme to appeal to something beyond the base.

And I think that Michigan's Senate race is maybe the kind of exhibit A.
