The drama in Michigan’s 7th Congressional District’s Democratic primary reached a boiling point Wednesday after former Navy SEAL Matt Maasdam hinted that former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink should drop out of the race ahead of Tuesday’s primary. Maasdam, in an interview with the Washington Examiner, suggested that Brink could drop out but stopped short of fully endorsing the idea. The statement created a firestorm of reaction, with Brink and Maasdam allies each racing to their candidate’s defense. But a deluge of outside spending in the closing weeks of the primary campaign has switched up the race.
