Friends —
Yesterday, Donald Trump rallied supporters alongside Mike Rogers in Kent County before heading to Warren, Michigan for a town hall.
On stage, Rogers and Trump sang each other’s praises. Trump said he “picked” Mike Rogers as the Senate candidate. He endorsed him in the primary because he knows that Rogers will be a rubber stamp for his far-right agenda. In addition, Trump used his town hall to advance lies about the integrity of our elections, saying the only way he loses if there is cheating. As someone who barricaded herself in her office on January 6th, this kind of language should be disqualifying.
On top of all of that, he made it clear that Michigan is his TOP priority in his campaign, saying: “If we win Michigan, we win it all.”
The reality is that if Trump loses Michigan, he will almost certainly lose the White House — and Republicans will lose the Senate. And the better I do in my race, the better Kamala Harris likely does in the state as well.
That’s why Republicans are throwing everything they can at Michigan: Outside groups are spending more than $30 million in TV ads attacking me and propping up Mike Rogers – with likely more on the way.
The latest polls show our state is virtually tied — for both the presidential and the Senate race. Political forecaster Nate Silver’s recently published analysis said not only that Michigan is a pure toss up, but also that there may be no state more important than Michigan in this election.
The only thing we know for certain is that this race will come down to the wire and could go either way on Election Day. And with voters in Michigan already casting their ballots, we can’t waste a single moment in this race. Every voter we reach, every door we knock, every ad we air, and yes every dollar we raise, can be the difference in a race like ours.
But we are not powerless in this campaign.
