The Week That Was on Deadline Detroit
'The Week That Was:' Will the Democratic U.S. Senate Race in Michigan Be More Telling Than the NY Primaries?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The New York Congressional Democrats who were endorsed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani did well last Tuesday night. Is that a good indicator of where the Democrats are headed? Or will the Democratic Party's U.S. Senate race in Michigan with progressive Abdul El-Sayed be a better measure of where the country is headed?
The Week That Was host Saeed Khan discusses the matter with guests: freelancer and former Detroit News feature writer Jim McFarlin; seasoned attorneys Bill Seikaly and Joel Sklar; labor and community activist Barb Ingalls; veteran journalist Nancy Derringer; and Deadline Detroit co-founder Allan Lengel.
They also talk about the disastrous reflecting pool in Washington, the ongoing Middle East conflict, and some Schmucks of the Week, including CNN's Scott Jennings and GOP gubernatorial candidate John James, who shamelessly parrots President Trump's fraudulent 2020 election claims.
