ICYMI: NYT The Daily: “Michigan is the Marquee Democratic Primary”

MICHIGAN — Early this morning, the New York Times podcast “The Daily” spoke about the Michigan Senate race candidates and how voters’ exhaustion with politics as usual will continue to impact how the primary progresses. During the program, state Senator and U.S. Senate candidate Mallory McMorrow was identified as the only Democrat running who has explicitly called for new leadership and said that she would not support Chuck Schumer – a point that has been clear since day one of her campaign.

Read more excerpts from the podcast below:

“Then you sort of have a third option in Mallory McMorrow, who is a State Senator and…is a very good communicator, and she said I'm not quite as left as El-Sayed on these issues. I'm not quite as right as Haley Stevens on other issues, but by the way, I'm absolutely opposed to Chuck Schumer remaining a Senate leader, using that as a sort of leverage point in a primary to sell herself.”

[...]

“They're not happy with the Democratic leadership now, in a way that is new and different, and we are not sure how that's going to play out both in the primaries and then eventually in the bigger fight, which is the general election.”

[...]

“Can you just be anti-Trump? And is that anger, is tapping into the voters' anger here actually the way to win this year, not to be angry at your own party, but to tap into the anger at what's happening in the country and present people like that to get back power.”
