Following DSA-backed candidate Abdul El-Sayed's narrow primary victory in Michigan, the Democratic Party faces growing internal divisions. At the same time, Republicans prepare to capitalize on the shift ahead of the midterms. Axios political reporter Stef Kight, USA Today Washington Bureau Chief Susan Page, and FOX News contributor Jason Riley join guest host and co-anchor of America Reports John Roberts to analyze the leftward turn of the Democratic Party.
Later, they dive into the U.S.-Iran dispute over the Strait of Hormuz and the uncertain future of U.S. strategy in the Middle East.
This originally aired on Special Report Wednesday August 5th, 2026.
