MI-Sen 2026: Peters retiring

[wbrocks67]

This just leaves McMorrow and Stevens at this point, right?

I don't think we've heard what Nessel's plans are?

Or Rivet

From what we've been seeing floated publicly, yes. If Stevens runs, the MI-11 Dem primary could get very interesting.

Thinking of MI-11: I know this is very much a "smoke filled room" political theory, but McMorrow lives in Stevens' district. It would be interesting if MI Dems agree to clear the MI-11 Dem primary field for McMorrow if she drops her potential Senate run for a free Harris +16 House seat.

Edit: Personally I don't think Rivet will run for Senate. Dems will offer her pretty much any amount of campaign money to keep the incumbency advantage in her marginal Congressional seat instead of running for Senate, like what I imagine happened with Scholten.

I dk. McMorrow is blasting Chuck Schumer right after Haley defends him. I think she perceives, correctly, if she just runs a bit to Stevens' left she can probably defeat her and snag a Senate seat in a Democratic wave.

But...like...why exactly shouldn't we be electing AIPAC stooges to every position in the United States?

Because no foreign country or its supporters should have so much influence over OUR country's deliberative bodies? This isn't that hard to understand.

And yes, I would say this for any other country too...even if AIPAC stood for American-Indian Political Action Committee, I'd still be very much skeptical and concerned by how much influence it exerts in our politics.

Why is this never said about the Palestine lobby? Why does no one care that they’ve infiltrated our institutions of higher education, the federal bureaucracy, and the deep state? The people who are either actually implementing policy or educating the next generation of politicians should be just as, if not even more neutral, than the actual politicians. Youth are formative years and these people will be indoctrinated for life and yet no one ever says a word about that.

Fatah and Hamas have lil money themselves.
Qatar and Iran do have money tho.
Qatar influences academics and shpaes a bit its image with future journalists. Making progressives like your reactionary emirate isn´t that easy but it's paying off on the long term. They got away with Qatar 2022 for a reason.

Maybe there were people in Biden's admin with ties to Hamas, but any reputable source won´t do research on that.

It's a smart tactic whether for the primary or the general election. Sinema did the same thing in 2018.

Great statements from McMorrow there. If it comes down to her vs. Stevens I really hope she takes it.

McDonald Rivet is probably still the best bet.

ENDORSED

[Mr.Bakari-Sellers]

Lol Schumer isn't going anywhere, you have to get a majority in your caucus in Sen leadership it's not a floor vote like the H with Speaker, but I don't like Schumer either

Schumer already said he isn't stepping down and his seat isn't up til 28

We haven't heard from any of the ultra liberals like Klobuchar

Yes yes yes yes YESSSSSSSS this ad is great. God I hope she wins.

[wbrocks67]

Kind of wish Stevens and Rivet just stay out at this point and leave it to McMorrow lol

[LostInOhio]

She’s so charismatic. Honestly I think she’s one of the closest things the Democrats have to Obama in the present era

The lack of a D primary in 2024 largely contributed to Trump winning the election. I’m not saying they should tear each other to shreds, but we need a battle tested candidate, and primaries help with that.

Uh no, McMorrow should be required to actually state her positions on issues. A flashy ad is cool, but it doesn't tell me anything about her.

The fact that Slotkin herself had effectively no primary kind of calls this into question imo

This theory could still be supported if you consider Slotkin's very narrow GE margin of victory - she might have won more decisively if she had become more battle-tested coming out of a seriously contested primary.

I'm a little concerned that McMorrow's campaign is going to be too 2017-era resistance and not focused on Michigan. Retail politicking and connecting to your state matters when you are running in a swing state. Her campaign launch ad was not Michigan focused at all.

The environment next year will be blue enough for her to win for sure, but you can't be a hyperpartisan swing state senator and expect to be able to continue to hold on in years that aren't as great for you party. If 2032 isn't a great year for Dems I could see her getting swept out, whereas Slotkin is probably better poised right now to weather future GOP-leaning years.

This is outright false? She literally had an entire section on everything they accomplished in Michigan??

Huh? Slotkin was as battle tested as they came, especially given she came from a tossup district.

It was all generic political accomplishments though. What I mean is I think voters will want to see some more connection to issues that are unique to Michigan.

McMorrow is a force to be reckoned with. No wonder Buttigieg decided not to contest.
