Two Battlegrounds, One Sprint: Dems in Michigan and Maine Focus on Decisive Senate Seats | Jul 27

President Trump narrowly won Michigan in 2024 but, with his poll numbers slipping, Democrats think they have a chance at picking up a Senate seat. Will they go for progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed or establishment-backed Congresswoman Haley Stevens? Michigan Public Radio's Rick Pluta explains what's at stake ahead of next week's primary. Meanwhile, Maine Democrats have officially chosen Troy Jackson as their Democratic candidate for Senate, replacing Graham Platner. But Jackson now has less than 100 days to convince Maine voters to choose him over incumbent GOP Sen. Susan Collins. Alex Seitz-Wald, local reporter and deputy editor for the Midcoast Villager, talks strategies for this must-win race for Democrats to take back the Senate. Finally, it was a very Ryan-forward Comic-Con in San Diego this weekend, with big announcements from a trio of Ryans: Ryan Coogler, Ryan Gosling and Ryan Reynolds. NBC News Senior Hollywood Reporter Rebecca Keegan brings us the latest from Marvel's Cinematic Universe.
