Progressives, establishment Dems set for major clashes in Aug. 4 primaries

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/guide-to-aug-4-primaries

Though much of Americans' political focus has turned to the general election battle looming between President Trump and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, primary season is not quite over, and another round of consequential races is upcoming on Tuesday, including a primary challenge to high-profile Squad member Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich.

Tlaib is facing a challenge from Detroit City Council President Brenda Jones -- who she beat out in a crowded primary race in 2018 -- to retain her seat in Congress. But now it's just Jones and Tlaib going head to head. And despite Tlaib's massive fundraising advantage, Jones is a popular politician with deep connections in the Detroit political establishment.
