The 2026 Michigan primaries not only affected the state but may also have national implications.
This week on MichMash, WDET’s Cheyna Roth and Gongwer News Service’s Alethia Kasben break down the results and what they may forecast for the midterm elections.
They are joined by Associated Press reporter Joey Cappelletti.
The biggest story coming out of the primaries is Abdul El-Sayed defeating U.S.
Rep.
Haley Stevens for the Democratic nomination for an open U.S.
Senate seat.
After winning by less than 1 percentage point, El-Sayed will face Republican Mike Rogers in the general election.
El-Sayed represents the progressive, Democratic Socialists of America wing of the party.
Cappelletti says the results in November could make or break the momentum the DSA has gained with El-Sayed’s victory.
“We’ve seen the progressive wing have victories in deep-blue cities before.
But this is really the first time that we saw it on this level in a swing state like Michigan.
Michigan does prefer, at least in the past, more moderate, pragmatic candidates.
What happened [during the primaries] was big for the movement, but it will not matter if they don’t win in November.”
The midterm elections will be held Nov.
3, 2026.
