The New York Times reported on a Michigan Senate race in which Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, described as a "progressive Democrat looking to win a Senate race in Michigan," is a candidate. The Times said its national political correspondent, Shane Goldmacher, explains in a video report why a victory for El-Sayed could have broader implications for 2028. The video is titled Can a Progressive Win a Swing State?

The summary of the video is credited to Shane Goldmacher, Alexandra Ostasiewicz, James Surdam and Edward Vega. It does not say what polling shows in the race or which specific implications for 2028 the correspondent identifies.

NPR separately reported on conversations its hosts had with voters. In a piece titled Morning Edition hosts share what they learned from voters heading into the midterms, NPR said that Steve Inskeep and A Martínez reflect on what voters told them when they traveled to Texas, Georgia and North Carolina. The summary does not describe the specific views the voters expressed.

The two pieces address different parts of the coming elections. The Times focuses on one Senate contest in Michigan and its possible effect on 2028, while NPR's piece concerns voter conversations in Texas, Georgia and North Carolina. Both pieces were published as the midterm elections approached, according to their titles and summaries.

Neither summary includes polling figures, vote totals, or statements from the candidate or his campaign. The reports reviewed here do not describe any election result.
