21:27Now PlayingPaul Rieckhoff breaks down a wild primary week: Abdul El-Sayed's far-left win in the Michigan Democratic Senate primary and why he'll struggle with the 17% of Michiganders who are independent, the Democrat drop-out in South Dakota that clears a one-on-one between independent veteran Brian Bengs and Republican Mike Rounds, the head-to-head shaping up in Idaho with Todd Achilles vs Jim Risch, the call for Alani Bankhead to step aside in Montana so Green Beret Seth Bodnar can take on Kurt Almy, and — in the middle of the Spokane wildfires — four IVA-endorsed independent veterans rising through Washington's top-two nonpartisan primary, with at least two advancing to November. Michigan is what wrong looks like. Washington is what right looks like. Independent is an attitude. Stay vigilant.
