Summary

Mallory McMorrow just suspended her campaign for the Democratic U.S. Senate primary here in Michigan, and the nation is watching. We break down why her run felt off from the start, how a messy CNN interview and a fuzzy message alienated both progressive and establishment voters, and why stepping aside now may actually protect her future options. Then Norris Howard and I get into what comes next: the party's clear preference for Haley Stevens, Abdul El-Sayed's anti-establishment path, harm-reduction voting, generational splits, and why sit-outs (if they happen) from key voters no matter who wins could suddenly give Republican Mike Rogers a real lane.
