Good riddance, he is our rep. I suspect he though he might not win his primary. I can’t see him changing parties to Dem, especially after what he said about both. He would lose more voters becoming a Dem. And with more than 2 challengers there will most likely be a run off. If he did survive I’m sure he already got the word Trump would not even mention his name when he came to Michigan too campaign for our locals. John James is running against Peters and that will be an easier win for him than against Stabenow. I am sure Trump will come here and endorse James. And will get in some good digs against Amash. Stick a fork in him he is done.

This is the ‘cui bono’ here. Numbers just came out making it clear he’s going to be primaried out. Thus, no chance to soak up contribution $.
By going independent, he can play for money right up to Election Day. He’ll still lose, but rake it in until then while not angering China, his true master.
MI doesn’t have runoff elections.
