AINews Summary

The biggest development is that Michigan's 13th District Democratic primary has narrowed to a two-candidate race between Shri Thanedar and Donavan McKinney after two other candidates were disqualified. Thanedar still holds a large cash advantage, but the smaller field could help McKinney. Shelby Campbell's campaign has also drawn attention, though without any reported result change. Thanedar's money edge likely supports his position, but the tightened field could make the race more competitive. Overall uncertainty remains elevated with the primary still ahead.
