Transcript
I'm Kristen Wright, NPR News from Washington. Support for NPR. This week on the NPR Politics Podcast, another progressive Democrat edges out an establishment candidate. Abdul El-Sayed won Michigan's Senate primary, campaigning on affordability, health care and ending U.S. military aid to Israel. Join us as we break down his victory and what it could signal for November's midterms on the NPR Politics Podcast. Listen on the NPR app or wherever you get podcasts.
