Donavan McKinney Defeats Shri Thanedar in Michigan Democratic Primary

In the Michigan 13th Congressional District Democratic primary, Congressman Donavan McKinney emerged victorious with 51.9% of the vote, while incumbent Congressman Shri Thanedar received 48.1%. In this primary, the cryptocurrency-backed political action committee Protect Progress spent over $2 million on media expenditures to support Thanedar's re-election and oppose McKinney.

Thanedar had previously voted in the House in favor of bills such as the GENIUS Act and the CLARITY Act. McKinney will face Republican candidate Taras Nykoriak in the November election.
