We went to Michigan 10 days before the primary to see how progressives in the state are pushing the Democratic Party and its local candidates farther to the left.
- Abdul el-Sayed, a candidate for governor who's been trailing in the polls, got some last-minute help from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders.
Why it matters: If el-Sayed can pull off a surprise victory, it's more evidence that the progressive wing of the party — the one that helped Ocasio-Cortez win in the Bronx —could also help other Dems across the country.
