But I wrote some notes to myself while following Michigan in the background over the course of the evening. But this is a guy whose only previous attempt at elected office resulted in a 22-point loss to Gretchen Whitmer in the 2018 Michigan gubernatorial primary. Michigan, where I’m from, isn’t New York City or some super liberal district in Colorado. Gretchen Whitmer, a lot of the Democratic establishment, including Michigan incumbent Sen. Elissa Slotkin, stayed on the sidelines in the race. With that said, Congressional primaries are hard to poll, and Michigan is a particularly hard state to poll for various reasons.
