Huge Update As Voters Head To Polls In Key MI Senate Primary

The Democrat Party continues to undergo a significant shift in its priorities and governing philosophy, as evidenced by the rise of hard-left socialist candidates.

One of the more high-profile races to be decided on Tuesday is who the party’s voters will choose in the race for a U.S. Senate seat in the battleground state of Michigan.

The primary there pits the more moderate candidate, Rep. Haley Stevens, against Abdul El-Sayed, a former public health official favored by the Democratic Socialists of America.

In recent days, El-Sayed has been attempting to run away from the DSA platform, but Fox News’ Charlie Hurt noted in a segment on Monday that his stated positions in the past line up directly with those of the political organization.

That includes: Medicare for All; abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement; subjugate the U.S. Supreme Court to Congress; implement a ‘wealth tax’ on the nation’s highest earners; isolate Israel and end foreign and military aid to the country.

And while El-Sayed claims he supports capitalism, he would still seek to “reform” it – which generally means government regulation.

Michigan’s Democratic primary on Tuesday has become a closely watched contest that reflects the broader debate over the future direction of the Democrat Party.

Following a series of progressive primary victories in several congressional districts earlier this year, the party’s ideological divisions are now playing out in the battleground state, where the outcome could influence both the Democratic agenda and the party’s prospects in the general election.

The winner between El-Sayed and Stevens will succeed retiring Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich., who has endorsed Stevens.

The seat is considered a key Democratic hold in a cycle that will help determine whether Republicans retain their majority in the U.S. Senate.

“This is ground zero in the battle for the future of the Democratic Party pitting status quo corporate Democrats against shake up the system economic fighters, and we’ll see who wins,” said Adam Green, co-founder of the left-wing Progressive Change Campaign Committee, in a statement to Fox News.
