MI-GOV Megathread: 👵🏻 Gram died alone.

LOL. MI's version of McSally?

Lean D anyways, BUT, Dems are well avised not too take Whitmer's reelection for granted. James came closer than expected last year and 2022 is very likely a less D-friendly cycle than 2020 was. Whether Trump's lack of presence on the ballot will help Dems in MI is another question that is about to be tested. As always, turnout will decide the outcome.

This. I believe it will be a very competitive race in MI next year.

Yeah and Whitmer is gonna win, James is a retread that lost 2 races before

I do think Whitmer is a (slight) favorite but I wouldn't discount James. 2022 is likely to be a slightly R-favoring midterm.

Who would you support here, Chips?

No one.

The MI GOP better hope that DeVos doesn't win the nomination.

My early prediction for the race:

✓ Governor Gretchen E. Whitmer/Lieutenant Governor Nikki Haley: roughly 2,280,000 votes (roughly 49.5%)
Businessman John James/some random MAGA running mate: roughly 2,260,000 votes (roughly 49%)

I think this race is as close to pure toss-up as it gets.

It is worth noting that the Democrats have had a lucky streak in Michigan as of late. With the top GOP contender (James Craig) potentially having just doomed himself from the nomination and Democrats having overperformed in several MI statewide elections. I still think it's a toss-up but of the toss-ups I'd now argue that this is the most likely to remain Democrat.
