Black voters in Detroit are telling anyone who will listen that the Democratic Party takes their support for granted, and the Michigan Senate primary results suggest the party's progressive wing isn't even trying to change that.

Haley Stevens, beat him by an average of eight points, according to a county-level analysis by The Hill. That gap matters.
