The war to succeed Bernie Sanders is already underway
The competition to succeed Bernie Sanders as the progressive leader includes Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ro Khanna, who are adopting different strategies in the midterms. Their approaches are highlighted in Michigan's Senate primary, with both backing Abdul El-Sayed against Haley Stevens. Sanders' inner circle favors Ocasio-Cortez, but Khanna's allies argue her cautious strategy limits her as a future leader.
