26:52Now PlayingDean Obeidallah discusses the Michigan primary results: Democrats don’t have an identity crisis, they have a leadership crisis. We just saw that play out in Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary, where one candidate was championing views on key issues supported by 75% to 90% of Democratic voters—while the other candidate represented a distinctly minority view of the base. We are talking everything from Medicare for all to abolishing ICE to ending military aid to Israel. But who did Democratic leaders in Washington D.C. and Michigan endorse? The candidate who stood for the views of about 25% of Democratic voters are today.
