Whoever wins, I think this was the best possible outcome in the Senate Dem primary in Michigan. Neither candidate got to 50%, so this hopefully will prevent the media from going on a frenzy about one side or the other, and force both sides to find common ground.
Jocelyn Benson, who has cultivated a national profile during two terms as Michigan’s secretary of state, on Tuesday won the Democratic nomination for governor, The Associated Press said. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/04/u...

I stand against all but one point the DSA leader espoused by Ms. Romer the other day (I do think the Electoral College needs to go). I also share the concern that this typical swing in the opposite direction will cost the Dems seats in some areas. It will win some too. apnews.com/article/demo...
