The primary has become a battleground for the future of the Democratic Party.

El-Sayed has sparked controversy with his comments on Israel and has vowed not to accept PAC donations.

As expected, the matter has reached another stage.

Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez parachute into Michigan to boost El-Sayed’s campaign.

The primary has become a proxy war between the left-wing and center-left establishment.

El-Sayed’s comments on Israel have sparked controversy, but he has also gained support from Arab American voters.

The outcome of the primary will be seen as a test of the Democratic Party’s direction.

The familiar question of whether the party should move left or remain center-left remains unanswered.
