A fight is breaking out over media double standards and Democratic infighting in Michigan's Senate race, with progressives arguing the party establishment is working to sink its own candidate.

• Laura Loomer used openly racist language against Black Democratic women, including Florida candidate Angie Nixon, plus anti-Muslim and anti-Jewish slurs.
• Loomer meets with the president and has gotten White House staff fired, yet reporters rarely press Republicans about her.
• Ro Khanna says he is constantly asked about streamer Hasan Piker's ties to candidate Abdul El-Sayed while never being asked about right-wing figures he has appeared with.
• Democratic leaders, including DNC chair Ken Martin, are attacking El-Sayed in a way that helps Republican Mike Rogers.
• The claim is that AIPAC and corporate donors are funding the push against El-Sayed, since a progressive winning a swing state would destroy the establishment's electability argument.

Outlook: If El-Sayed wins Michigan despite opposition from both parties and the press, he would become an unusually powerful new senator and a major blow to the Democratic establishment.
