The Democratic primary in Michigan’s 7th Congressional District has become a three-way contest between two moderate candidates with national security backgrounds and a far-left activist. The Lansing-area seat is viewed as important for Democratic efforts to regain House control.

Democrats are backing a Navy SEAL candidate in hopes of stopping the far-left activist from winning the nomination due to past controversies over extremist comments.
