08-05-26 Part Two - A Close Call in Michigan

In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, the 2026 midterms kicked into high gear Tuesday as voters headed to the polls across five states, with Michigan's marquee Democratic Senate primary leading a slate of closely watched contests. The contest between Rep. Haley Stevens and former public health official Abdul El-Sayed has become the marquee race of the night, drawing millions of dollars in outside spending and attention from top Democratic figures. The winner will face Republican Mike Rogers in November in one of the country's most competitive Senate races and a contest that could help determine control of the chamber. Also California's Democratic Party backs a controversial billionaire wealth tax proposal that's on state's 2026 ballot / Jeanine Pirro presented a box of evidence to show President Trump what caused the Reflecting Pool damage / Saudi Arabia's influence on President Trump's delay in opening the Strait of Hormuz / and more audio from ESPN's Stephen A. Smith launching an incensed rant against Cheryl Reeve, the head coach of the Minnesota Lynx, who recently wore a shirt that read “Trans Kids Belong” while coaching a WNBA game.
