When Republicans are in charge, Michigan grows.
When Democrats are in charge, Michigan families suffer.
This is the reality now more than ever under One Party Democrat rule.

🚨PROJECTION
Jocelyn Benson (D) defeats Kristina Karamo in her re-election bid for Secretary of State of Michigan. She is headed for a significant double digit victory.
BREAKING: my promise to the people of Wisconsin is that I’d fight for fair maps, so I’ll be vetoing the maps passed by Republicans today.
Moving legislative district lines so GOP-gerrymandered incumbents get to keep their seats is just more gerrymandering.
Basic stuff, folks.
There’s a 65-70 min wait to vote at the university of michigan campus voting location according to my sources. The line out the door and down the street
Based on special elections and generic ballot and president approval trends, I’d say we are probably at about a 50-49 Dem senate with GA headed to runoff and 219-216 GOP house. Things could change tho
someone encouraged me to ask this: If Dems are one seat short in the house, do you approach Dan Newhouse, the last remaining pro-impeachment R, and say, “Wanna become speaker?”
🚨 PROJECTION
MICHIGAN DEMOCRATS TAKE CONTROL OF THE STATE HOUSE. WIN A TRIFECTA FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1980s.

After 40 years of Republican rule in Michigan, they’re getting zero time of the day
Watch at how quickly Michigan Democrats are moving through these GOP proposed amendments to the bill🫢🫢 GOP utilized this way of governing for decades and now they’re paying the price

Dana Nessel winning blood red suburbs of Grand Rapids where even Obama couldn’t clear 40% is sweet, sweet Justice for the Michigan Republican Party. She won Ada and Cascade townships, Betsy DeVos’s own backyard

BREAKING: Nevada Dems just gained a supermajority in the Assembly! They'll also maintain a woman-majority chamber in an election that was defined by protecting abortion rights.
This supermajority will play a key role in keeping the GOP governor-elect's dangerous agenda in check.
DNC needs to move the Michigan primary ahead of Feburary 27. It overlaps with University of Michigan and Michigan State University spring breaks. It is irresponsible to ignore 100,000+ students like that. Especially after how students stepped up in 2022.
