The 2020 Senate Campaign: Michigan

It appears Republican hopes in the Michigan Senate race are fading:

Biden, the presumed Democratic nominee, leads Republican Trump in Michigan 53-41, according to a poll conducted by EPIC-MRA of Lansing between May 30 and last Wednesday. …

U.S. Sen. Gary Peters, a Democrat from Bloomfield Township, leads Republican challenger John James of Farmington Hills, 51-36, with 13% undecided or refusing to say. [Detroit Free Press]

This is roughly twice the gap from the previous poll that had come to my attention with regards to Senator Peters (D-MI) reelection chances.

And, of course, Biden appears to enjoy a tremendous lead in Michigan. It’s still a long ways to November, and there are many possible potholes facing Biden, so he has to continue projecting bold leadership – from his basement – and concentrate on talking about the current incompetency in the White House, and detail how he’ll reintroduce competency and integrity to the White House. He almost must keep his constituencies confident that their concerns will be addressed, if he does win. Chief among these are the black community, who essentially forced the Democrats to choose him, and he must retain their confidence.

Keep an eye on the polls.
