Primaries offer both parties reasons for optimism, caution ahead of the midterms
On The Final 5, Jim Lokay is joined by Democratic strategist Mally Smith and Republican commentator Stephen Kent to break down primary election results in Virginia, Michigan, and across the country, and what they could signal for November. The panel debates whether Democratic infighting over Israel and AIPAC gives Republicans an opening, the surprisingly close Michigan Democratic primary, and the outlook for key Senate races, including Susan Collins' reelection bid in Maine. They also discuss whether Virginia voters will focus on state leadership or national politics.
