Left-wing Democrats have won many local elections recently.
They want to focus on social issues and workers' rights.
But now they must convince voters in important states like Michigan.
This state is a part of the "Rust Belt", where many from the working class live.
Many of these voters feel that politicians have forgotten them.
Swing voters often decide who wins the presidential election.
The progressive wing of the party believes that their message can win.
They promise better healthcare and higher wages for everyone.
Critics say that their policy can be too radical for moderate voters.
The results in Michigan will show if this strategy works.
