It’s an earthquake to have Bernie Sanders’s candidate defeat Gretchen Whitmer’s candidate in Michigan. But the real goal is to keep Donald Trump’s candidate from winning this seat.
That simply shows that this was a hotly contested primary that drew out voters in Deerborn, okay no real argument from here, I agree but what else are you trying to point out with this isolated statistic?
I mean okay, 2024 primary had a 24 percent turn out rate and the general had a 75 percent turnout rate while this 2026 primary had a 27 percent turn out rate overall.
All of this doesn’t tell me much outside of the this we’ve both said other than maybe we’d expect a mild uptick in voter turnout in the general.
abdul’s 27% turnout got more votes than kamala’s 75% turnout, which is notable. both directions, too. the other thing i’d draw from this is that harris was not a good candidate and that el-sayed is.
just first glance impressions though, i’d want to dig into the data before making any authoritative claims
