John James has won the Republican nomination in Michigan's U.S. Senate race.
With 29 percent of precincts reporting, initial results on Tuesday night showed James with 56.96 percent of the vote to opponent Sandy Pensler's 43.04 percent. The Associated Press called the race for James at 10:11 p.m.
James will go on to face incumbent Democrat Debbie Stabenow in the general election. Stabenow, who was unopposed in the Democratic primary, was first elected to represent Michigan in the U.S. Senate since 2000.
In a statement following the call, James said Stabenow "better get ready for the fight of her political life."
"I don't have a Black message. I don't have a White message. I have a Michigan message," James said. "We need people who have experience getting results. You aren't going to get results from a 43-year career politician."

Great to read. Thanks! (and, yes, will be able to donate thanks to your info).
Prayer alert. He is going to need a lot of prayer considering what will be thrown at him from now till November. Does he have a Twitter? It needs a divine layer of protection. He needs to be very wise with his words. The wolves are out.
And thanks for thr donate link!
I hope that he can raise enough/more than enough money to get the vote out for him!
Go beat Tubby!
Thank God!
Great night.
Amen!
Prayers up!
Awesome...
