To recap the Aug. 4 primary elections, MIRS sits down with Lansing-based Andrea Bitely – a moderate Republican – and Democratic Socialist Jessica Newman, a political operative in Ferndale (1:30). 

How will Democrat U.S. Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed try to connect with Detroit seniors, Macomb County's pro-Trump autoworkers and "Reagan Democrats", and the pre-Trump Republicans in white collar Oakland County?

Also, what might be Republican U.S. Senate nominee Mike Rogers' courting strategy to win Democratic voters who wanted Congresswoman Haley Stevens (D-Birmingham) to win the primary?

Additionally, they discuss who might vote YES on summoning a state Constitutional Convention in November, and whether Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, Democrat nominee for Governor, is prepared for a "fire hose" of negative ads from Republicans.
