Delano D'Souza is pleased to welcome Ian Reifowitz, SUNY Distinguished Professor Historical Studies at SUNY Empire State University. The Michigan Democratic Senate primary illustrates a broader tension reshaping American politics: the contest is not simply between progressive and establishment factions, but between competing theories of electoral viability, party identity, and foreign policy. Professor Reifowitz argues that Abdul El-Sayed's narrow projected victory should not be interpreted as a wholesale rejection of the Democratic establishment, but neither can it be dismissed as an anomaly. Instead, it demonstrates that progressive candidates are increasingly competitive at the statewide level, while simultaneously pushing the Democratic mainstream to recalibrate its positions, particularly on Israel and Gaza. #USA #Democrats #Progressives 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest Inte
