Thanks to some maneuvering by Sens. Debbie Stabenow and Chuck Schumer, Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) has largely cleared the field in what could have otherwise been a messy Senate primary.
No major Republican candidate has publicly declared a run for the seat yet, though former Rep. Peter Meijer and Reps.Slotkin, who flipped her seat in 2018, is a prodigious fundraiser and a skilled campaigner. The contest between Republican John James and Democrat Sen.in 2020 smashed state records for campaign spending, and Slotkin’s 2022 battleground House race was among the costliest in the country.
Slotkin’s fellow House lawmakers aren’t publicly taking sides yet in the race even as they laud her. Rep.Hillary Scholtenrecently during a “listening tour” that came through her district but said she hadn’t endorsed yet. During last year’s midterms, however, the party took a publicly hands-off approach that culminated in barely competitive primaries in two purple states. John Fetterman beat former Rep. Conor Lamb so handily in Pennsylvania that there was never much doubt about who the party would nominate. And all of Mandela Barnes’s opposition folded ahead of the Wisconsin primary, anointing him as the party’s nominee.“If we have a strong candidate status, it’s certainly really beneficial to avoid a primary.
