This is significant: Nonpartisan political forecasters at Sabato’s Crystal Ball have officially downgraded the race for the presidency here in Michigan from “Lean D” to “Toss-Up.” Sabato’s Crystal Ball has a record of accurate predictions, making it a top major ratings organization in American politics.
This downgrade comes just a few days after a new poll showing our race for U.S Senate in a dead heat — with a LOT of voters still undecided.
Add it all up, and it becomes clear Michigan is a must-win state to keep the White House, keep the Senate, and flip the House.
And then there’s this: because the presidential is now a toss-up race, it makes it exceedingly more likely that our race will be a toss-up, too.
And in practical terms, news like this sends a signal to dark money spending groups that Michigan is seriously competitive — meaning they will undoubtedly pour millions into our race attacking Elissa and propping up our eventual opponent.
This is why we reach out to you with the frequency that we do: we’re focused on ensuring our campaign has the resources necessary to fight back against the attack ads and outside spending that are quickly coming our way.
