Summary

After a tight race with moderate Haley Stevens, progressive Abdul el-Sayed is now officially the Michigan Democratic Senate primary winner. The contest has been an enormously expensive one, with the candidates' stances on Israel a central issue in the campaign.

Political analyst Ron Brownstein joins us to discuss.  Also on today's show: Lawton Nuss, Former Chief Justice, Kansas Supreme Court; Annie Jacobsen, Author, "Biological War: A Scenario"  Learn more about your ad choices.
