## Resource

The left-wing insurgent Abdul El-Sayed is slightly ahead of the establishment-backed congresswoman, Haley Stevens, with more than 90% of the votes counted in the Michigan primaries. Freddy Gray speaks to Alex Castellanos who has written a piece for Spectator World explaining why the DSA's success could be a triumph for Trump, how they reflect a similar political outcome to Trump's populist split in the Republican party and what today's result could mean for the primaries ahead.
