Burgess Everett(@burgessev):Reps. Craig and Stevens losing in their primaries definitely rhymes -- Two 2018ers who flipped House seats falling to more progressive candidates But the swing in the actual makeup of Senate Democratic Caucus would be far more pronounced in Michigan if Abdul El-Sayed wins Michigan would go from centrist Peters to progressive AES (Peters endorsed Stevens over AES) Minnesota would go from progressive Smith to progressive Flanagan (Smith endorsed Flanagan over Craig)
