We've got the crucial Democratic U.S. Senate primary where the progressive Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is leading the two other establishment candidates. And we've got progressive working class activist, community-fighter, and pro-democracy congressional candidate William Lawrence, who's running against an establishment party candidate for Michigan's 7th Congressional District, currently being held by the weak MAGA Republican Tom Barrett.Pat Johnston explains how that race, and others like it, can help point the Democratic Party towards a real Democratic social and economic change for the working class. That's why the primaries are just as important as the general election this year.
