He was outspent 2-1 in a midterm election against a 3 term incumbent. 6 points is a solid win, but that was much closer than what was projected. Stabenow had beaten her previous two opponents by between 15 and 20 points. The idea is that he could win with some support and if President Trump has coattails. I don’t know if Peters is as well-supported as Stabenow in MI or not. Trump is gaining in MI. That’s why James probably has at least a shot.
Gary Peters is already running TV ads saying how ‘moderate’ he is.
Must be the RATS have some polling that Peters is beatable.
