Democratic anger at their own party fuels 2026 primaries
With the party's image at record lows and declining even among Democratic voters, candidates for Senate see an opening to win by positioning themselves against leaders.

McMorrow: What Trump has done is weaponize us against each other, when everybody needs hospitals, good schools, and health care.
It has become this battle for scarcity, when we’re the wealthiest country in the world. We should not be fighting each other for our basic needs.

I was horrified by the news this morning of a young couple senselessly shot and killed in DC. My heart goes out to the families of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim. This was a violent and targeted act of antisemitic terrorism, and it was not an isolated incident.

McMorrow: He’s going to say, “Promises made, promises kept.” Well, if he comes to Michigan, he promised to bring prices down. He promised that we would have explosive job growth. He promised that we would bring manufacturing back. And we’ve seen none of that.
