Pass. Anyone the Dems field will be better than him. I’d be perfectly happy with Gilchrist or Benson

Isn’t he a Republican?

I have to admit I’m worried about how Benson would perform in a general election considering all the shit thrown at her amid COVID/voter registration

Gilchrist? No, he’s the current lieutenant governor.

Mayor Duggan running as an independent is going to make things interesting - I have a feeling he’s going to drag down whoever the Democrat is more than he will the Republican, unless/until he drops out. Barring anything there, I think the Republicans being in charge nationally is going to be a boon for state-level Dems - the backlash to Trump 1.0 was a big part of the blue wave in 2018 when Whitmer was elected the first time around.

Sorry I should’ve clarified- I was referring to John James, though I think I misinterpreted your initial statement altogether
