Here's the Scoop · Can Progressive Candidates Pop in Purple States? How Medical Aid in Dying Will Work in New York · 5 Aug 2026 podcast

For this, I want to bring in NBC News correspondent Shaquille Brewster, who is joining us from Michigan. voice-verified

Hey, Shaq. voice-verified

A lot of late night decisions as well. voice-verified

Abdul El-Sayed's decision coming in especially late, clinching the Democratic Senate nomination over Representative Haley Stevens. voice-verified

Even though, by the way, Stevens got $65 million in outside donations and a lot of support from the Democratic establishment. voice-verified

And I'm talking about, for instance, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. voice-verified

Here is what El-Sayed said about it today. voice-verified

But El Sayed was not the only progressive candidate, Shaq, that won in Michigan. voice-verified

In the House races, you had progressive challenger State Representative Donovan McKinney beating incumbent Congressman Sri Thanadar. voice-verified

You had Bernie Sanders endorsed Will Lawrence winning a three-way primary beating Bridget Brink and Matt Masdam. voice-verified

But progressives did not sweep all their races in last night's primaries. voice-verified

So what is kind of like the overall picture right now when it comes to the progressive left and the wind at their sails that we have been seeing in some of these races? voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

So let's talk about November, right, and the general election. voice-verified

You have that open Michigan Senate seat. voice-verified

It's a near must-win for Democrats if they want to win back control of the Senate. voice-verified

Republicans wanted, actually, El-Sayed to be the Democratic nominee. voice-verified

They think he's going to be easier for the Republican nominee, Mike Rogers, to actually be elected. voice-verified
