Bernie-backed El-Sayed battles Schumer-backed Haley Stevens as Democratic civil war hits must-win Michigan

The Democratic Party’s ideological war is moving from deep-blue congressional districts to statewide contests in Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota, where progressive victories could reshape the party and endanger must-hold seats in November. 'Only socialism can solve decades of capitalist mismanagement in the US. Our newly elected leaders will fight for the working class -- not for crumbs,' the DSA proclaimed in a social media post. 'I think we’re at an opportunity to show folks where the Democratic Party ought to go. Whether or not there are people who oppose that, that’s for them to decide. But if you’re opposing that on behalf of big corporations, folks like AIPAC, you’re going to find that their power is going to start to slip,' El-Sayed warned in a Fox News interview. 'What you’re seeing here are the two opposing forces of the Democratic Party,' veteran Democratic strategist Joe Caiazzo told Fox News Digital. 'The stakes are monumentally high because Democrats have to hold these seats in November.'
