BREAKING — Sabato’s Crystal Ball shifted the Presidential race in Michigan from Lean D to Toss Up. This major development follows Biden’s debate debacle as multiple Michigan Democrats begin calling for Biden to be replaced on the ticket.
Even Gretchen Whitmer allegedly told the White House that Michigan is now unwinnable thanks to Biden’s debilitating ‘cold.’ Or was it travel fatigue after a week of rest? Either way, Whitmer is avoiding Jill Biden in Michigan today, and down ballot candidates should be concerned.
Other Michigan Dems React:
Rep. Hillary Scholten: "I watched the debate. I was concerned about the president's performance. I have raised those concerns strongly to the Democratic Party … 81 is certainly a high number”
Rep. Debbie Dingell said Biden had a "bad night"
Sen. Debbie Stabenow said Biden got off to "a slow start"
Back in December, the Washington Post reported that Slotkin "has expressed concern to allies that she may not be able to win her race if Biden is at the top of the ticket."
So we just have a very simple question for Elissa Slotkin: Is Joe Biden fit to serve as President TODAY?
NEW POLLS — President Trump continues to dominate polling in Michigan, with a new EPIC-MRA poll in the Detroit Free Press showing him with his largest lead in a public poll since early April - with the sample taken BEFORE the debate.
Even better, according to Puck, a leaked poll from Democrat firm OpenLabs shows Trump leading Sleepy Joe by 7 percent in Michigan following the debate.
ALL TIED UP — According to the same EPIC-MRA poll, the Senate race between Mike and Slotkin remains the closest in the nation, with this poll showing the race is still a statistical tie.
DON’T BELIEVE YOUR LYIN’ EYES — The NRSC slammed Elissa Slotkin and fellow Democrat candidates for their support of Joe Biden, and their gaslighting of the American people.
SLOTKIN DISMISSES ISIS — Elissa Slotkin, much like she won’t admit Biden is in the midst of a steep cognitive decline, refuses to believe and dismissed reports from Homeland Security that 400 ISIS terrorists have entered the United States through the open southern border.
"Slotkin’s lack of judgment and refusal to accept the reality of the border crisis is shocking," Mike Rogers told the Washington Free Beacon. "Her willful disregard of Michigan families’ safety is very concerning."
UP UP UP — Gas prices in Michigan are set to reach $4 per gallon right before one of the busiest travel weekends of the year, crushing budgets as Bidenflation lingers.
DOWN DOWN DOWN — Michigan’s education scores continue to plummet under Democrat leadership, with Michigan now ranking near the bottom of nearly every education metric.
“Michigan’s public school children have barely begun recovering what they lost academically during the pandemic and are well behind most states”
ENDORSEMENT — Associated Builders and Contractors Michigan PAC endorsed Mike Rogers for U.S. Senate last week, saying:
"We are proud to endorse Mike Rogers for the U.S. Senate as he embodies the spirit of the merit shop and free enterprise, values that are fundamental to our organization and vital for Michigan's growth. His unwavering dedication to fostering a business-friendly environment and creating opportunities for all resonates deeply with our mission and the hardworking people of our state." — ABC of Michigan President Shane Hernandez.
Mike Rogers on TV: Mike joined Fox & Friends this morning to discuss China’s latest espionage efforts and talk about Slotkin’s secret agreement involving the CCP
Tweet of the week: Did Elissa Slotkin sign another NDA, or is she just refusing to talk about Biden?
