Michigan\u2019s Senate race between Republican Mike Rogers and populist Democrat Abdul El-Sayed is shaping up to be a lynchpin in the midterm elections, and not just because it could mean the difference between majority and minority. El-Sayed\u2019s message of \u201cmoney in your pocket\u201d and Medicare for All has clearly resonated with the season\u2019s most energized voters, and his anti-corporate bona fides led him to victory over the more establishment Democrat, Haley Stevens. Today on the show, Matt Stoller and David Dayen sit down with El-Sayed to discuss markets and his anti-monopoly platform, how Medicare for All will create more competition, the uselessness of PBMs, the way big agriculture bullies Michigan\u2019s cherry farmers, beef and meatpacking regulation, the AI bubble, and the importance of Democrats actually doing something if they retake Congress.<\/p>\n
