0:00Progressive Abdul Elsied defeated

0:02Congresswoman Haley Stevens in a chaotic

0:04end to a race that has already been

0:06quite contentious. Now, first things

0:08first, what Elsad accomplished was

0:11historic. He's the first Muslim Democrat

0:13to be nominated for a Senate seat. And

0:16also, he defeated a challenger that was

0:18backed by a tons of members of the

0:20establishment and a ton of outside

0:22money. Plus, what Elsa's strategy was

0:25was unique. He flipped the attacks

0:28against him and ran explicitly against

0:30Democratic leadership and outside money

0:33like Apad. Here's what he told me in our

0:35interview. It might be that the question

0:37Michiganders are asking is who poses the

0:41biggest push back to a system of

0:43politics that has been bought off in

0:45ways that leave me unable to afford my

0:47groceries, un able to afford a home,

0:49unable to look at my kids' school and

0:50believe that that's a good place for

0:51them, unable to get healthcare when I

0:53need it, and then sending my money

0:55abroad telling me that somehow that's in

0:56my best interest. If we want to be the

0:58party of working people, we have to be

0:59the party for working people, which

1:01means that we've got to stop taking

1:02money from the people who are nickel and

1:03dimming them. But while Elsa's victory

1:05is a huge win for the left, there are

1:08also some warning signs in his primary

1:10win. He ran far behind some of his

1:12polling numbers and showed some

1:14weaknesses with rural voters and some

1:16black voters. He's going to have to

1:18improve on that if he wants to defeat

1:19Republican Mike Rogers in November,

1:21which is critical for the Democrats

1:23chances of controlling the House. It's

1:25going to be a different election, though

1:27come the midterms. This was a referendum

1:29on the left and what's happening among

1:31Democrats. November will be all about

1:33Trump.
