Intense primary battles have erupted within the Democratic Party for the upcoming vacant U.S. Senate seat in Michigan, with three candidates: Senator Mike Rogers, Congressman Stevens, and Doctor Sayed. In recent days, the debates among the three have changed almost hourly, ranging from whether to support "universal healthcare" to how hard the Democrats should take a stance against the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). In fact, this campaign has become a microcosm of almost all the issues the Democratic Party faces politically and tactically: What position should they take on Israel and Gaza? Should older congressional leaders step down? What does "electability" mean in the current political environment? Should the Democrats embrace the attention economy or focus on traditional campaigning methods? This campaign will test what the next generation of Democrats looks like and whether they can win an election in a crucial swing state, thereby influencing the control of the Senate. Democrats believe they have seen a path to reclaiming the majority in the Senate. But if they fail to hold onto this seat in Michigan, that already slim path will disappear.
