Current State looks at the results of the Michigan presidential primaries with Susan Demas of Inside Michigan Politics.

Democrats and Republicans made their choices yesterday in Michigan’s presidential primaries. As expected, Donald Trump led the way among Michigan Republicans. Democrats in Michigan provided the big story of the night, though, with Sen. Bernie Sanders winning a small but significant and surprising win over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. What factors led to these results, and what happens next around the country?

Current State talks about the presidential primary results with Inside Michigan Politics publisher Susan Demas.
