The reporting
Rep. Shri Thanedar of Michigan lost the Democratic primary in the 13th Congressional District to state Rep. Donavan McKinney, ending the two-term incumbent’s bid for renomination. McKinney, a Detroit native and Democratic Socialists of America member backed by the DSA, defeated Thanedar 51.9% to 48.1% with nearly all votes counted. The Detroit-based district covers most of the city, and McKinney’s win positions him as the Democratic nominee. His campaign drew support from progressive figures including Bernie Sanders and Rashida Tlaib.
