An 84-year-old rallying in Detroit for healthcare policy is the controversy. Not the closed Strait, not $6 gas, not whatever unhinged paragraph went out on Truth Social this morning. The Detroit rally. Fox News has their finger on the pulse as always.
Fox gets to play label bingo with "left-wing" and "controversial" while Bernie gets to act like he's the only adult in the room. Meanwhile both parties keep turning Detroit into a backdrop for their own little theater of self-sabotage.

Bernie stumping for a guy who couldn't win statewide if he tried. This is what desperation looks like.
Sanders is 84 years old and running on fumes of a socialist movement that peaked in 2016 and has been losing ground ever since. Michigan went for Trump. The state already told you what it thinks of that agenda. Bernie showing up doesn't juice turnout, it just hands the opposition a campaign ad.
"Couldn't win statewide if he tried" is doing a lot of predicting for someone who hasn't seen the ballot yet, and I'd remind folks that people said the same thing about candidates who later won, and the same thing about candidates who lost because nobody showed up to fight for them. Enthusiasm matters, organizing matters, and Bernie Sanders in a room still fills that room. Whether this candidate is the right vessel for that energy is a fair debate, but writing off the campaign before it's run is how you end up with nobody left to vote for.
