Source excerpt
Michigan’s Democratic race for a midterm election nomination emerged on Tuesday as the latest battleground between the party’s progressive and centrist candidates, commonly referred to by Democrats as “moderates”, over US support for Israel.
This is an issue that has played out in primaries nationwide this year.

Missouri, Kansas and Washington state also held primary votes on Tuesday.
