The Democratic Party's progressive and moderate wings are squaring off in Michigan as voters decide who the party's nominee for an open Senate seat will be. We look at the race and why it is reflective of broader debates in the party about policy, politics and more. This episode: voting correspondents Miles Parks & Ashley Lopez, and congressional reporter Sam Gringlas. This podcast was produced and edited by Casey Morell and Bria Suggs. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
