Sounds familiar, doesn't it? voice-verified

Up first, though, President Trump is in Michigan today. voice-verified

He is touring a General Motors facility in the suburbs of Detroit and then giving a speech there. voice-verified

Trump won the swing state by a hair in 2024, but his recent round of tariffs could affect his support in the state. voice-verified

So with Trump backing the Republicans' presumptive nominee, Democrats think they have a chance at picking up a Senate seat. voice-verified

So the question is, which Democratic primary candidate has better odds of defeating a Republican in a purple state, the establishment candidate, Haley Stevens, or the progressive political newcomer, Abdul El-Sayed? voice-verified

I want to bring in Rick Pluta from Michigan Public Radio and a co-host of the It's Just Politics podcast that he happens to host alongside his wife. voice-verified

Rick has been covering politics in this state since 1987. voice-verified

You have Haley Stevens, who was endorsed by Governor Gretchen Whitmer over the weekend. voice-verified

She's going up against progressive Abdul El-Sayed. voice-verified

The winner is going to be facing off against Republican Mike Rogers, who is running unopposed. voice-verified

Give us a lay of the land here. voice-verified
