Detroit Democrats are once again looking to unseat one of their own in Congress

Justice Democrats endorsed Donavan McKinney for the Democratic primary against Rep. Shri Thanedar in Michigan's 13th Congressional District, marking their first challenge since significant spending by AIPAC in 2022.
McKinney criticized Thanedar for using taxpayer money on campaign expenses and claimed he does not represent the working class.
Thanedar expressed confidence in his congressional record and stated that voters have a choice between him, McKinney, and another challenger.
The race reflects internal debates within House Democrats about leadership and representation, particularly for Detroit's Black community.
