Beyond Both Sides: Head vs. Heart in the Michigan Senate Primary | Episode 33

With five days until Michigan's August 4th primary, Chris and Allie go on the record with their predictions for the Democratic Senate race between Haley Stevens and Abdul El-Sayed — and they disagree. Chris breaks down Stevens' communications missteps and the progressive energy fueling El-Sayed. Allie makes the case for Stevens' polling lead and her strength with non-college-educated voters. They also call the Republican gubernatorial primary (it's John James's race), weigh how a low-turnout August could shape November, and close with a "disagree better" story about the new Gordy Howe International Bridge connecting Detroit and Windsor — proof that infrastructure can outlast an argument.
