It was a big night for Michigan Democrats, as progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed beat US Representative Haley Stevens in the race for a seat in the Senate this fall. But what did we actually learn from El-Sayed’s victory? Was this a win for progressives? A shot at the establishment? Is he too liberal to win in November? And what does this say about the midterms? Everyone has an opinion… but not all of them are good. To hear more about which takes we should be listening to, we spoke to Jon Favreau. He’s the co-host of Pod Save America. And in headlines, President Trump tells reporters a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz could come this week, the US is seeing more possible cyber attacks targeting water systems, and the Trump Administration is giving tariff refunds! But Americans are unlikely to see any of the money.

  • You have a very progressive Muslim candidate named Abdul Al-Sayed

  • who was outspent 11 to 1 and took on the entire Democratic establishment in D.C.

  • And in Michigan and won.

  • So that is something in a state like Michigan, right, which is we're not talking about New York City.

  • We're not talking about a deep blue district.

  • So that is that is noteworthy.

  • I'm Jane Koston, and this is What a Day,

  • a show that is so comforted to know that while the war in Iran continues

  • to spiral and Americans deal with an ever-increasing cost of living, the Vice President of the United States,

  • J.D. Vance, is laser-focused on calling a Washington Post columnist fat on Twitter.

  • On today's show, we talk to Pod Save America's Jon Favreau about the good, the bad,

  • and the ugly takes on Tuesday's primary elections.

  • Before we get into Michigan's midterm Michigas, here's what we're following today, Wednesday, August 5th.

  • A lot of progress has been made.

  • And they called me and they said, please, let's talk.

  • They want to talk.

  • The funny thing is, they never mentioned that.

  • They always say, we're not talking.

  • But they called.

  • They want to talk.
