If he were to die in office, it seems that there's going to be an almighty scramble with this new law in Kentucky, with people trying to work out what on earth it actually means.

Hello, it's Sarah here in the BBC's Bureau in Washington.
voice-verified
Yeah, in the democratic primary for the Senate seat there.
voice-verified
in Michigan, Abdul El Said, who is a left wing progressive candidate, beat the establishment candidate Haley Stevens, and so it's he's the one who's going to be in the ballot for the Senate in Michigan.
voice-verified
And this is important for a number of reasons, Justin, isn't it?
voice-verified
Which is that it's it's a big victory for the left, for the progressive wing of the Democratic Party.
voice-verified
Um not their first this year.
voice-verified
It's part of a a swing, it would seem in some parts of the country, towards the progressive
voice-verified
Left.
voice-verified
But it is the first time it's happened in a key swing state.
voice-verified
So it's one thing for progressives to be winning uh primaries in states like New York.
voice-verified
It's quite another in Michigan, somewhere where they would need to win the Senate seat in the midterms to take control of the Senate.
voice-verified
Also they need to win it in twenty twenty eight to take the presidential election.
voice-verified
So what happens in states like Michigan really, really matters.
voice-verified
And the question
voice-verified
The question now is how winnable is it with candidates like El Said and can they bring the Democratic Party together behind his campaign?
voice-verified
Have a listen to what he said just after he won the primary this week.
voice-verified
Yeah, and there what he's talking about is the way in which Republicans are already campaigning against him.
voice-verified
He often cites potential Islamophobia and people who are arguing against him, and also that he's being mischaracterized in some ways by Republicans and he knows that they are going to throw everything they have got at him.
voice-verified
The kitchen sink will be flung at um Abdul al Said in this campaign.
