Primary elections underway in 5 states as Michigan Democrats battle for Senate seat
Primaries are underway in Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Virginia and Washington, with the battle between Michigan Democratic Senate hopefuls Haley Stevens and Abdul El-Sayed taking center stage. CBS News' Aaron Navarro has more.
The Democratic Party primary in Michigan features two key races: the open Senate seat between Abdul El-Sayed and Rep. Haley Stevens, and a congressional race between Stevens and state Sen. Jeremy Moss. El-Sayed's victory could signal a potential shift in the party's direction, while a loss for Stevens could impact Democratic leaders such as Governor Gretchen Whitmer and retiring Senator Gary Peters.
Meanwhile, in Missouri, Wesley Bell faces off against former Rep. Cori Bush, who aims to reclaim her old seat. In Kansas, incumbent Democratic Governor Laura Kelly endorses state Sen. Ethan Corson for her successor, while two progressive candidates challenge him from the GOP. Missouri's 5th District is also notable, as Democrats lack representation in Congress after Republicans redraw the district boundaries.
