Michigan Senate race tied, per Trafalgar Poll, Dems scrambling to save Peters
‘Nervous’ Schumer spending big in Michigan Senate race to help Gary Peters
Chuck Schumer PAC Spending Millions to Save Gary Peters in Michigan
EXCLUSIVE: John James, the Michigan Senate GOP candidate, raised $14 million in the third quarter and is within “striking distance” of upsetting incumbent Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich., according to a Tuesday campaign memo obtained by Fox News.
In a sign of the competitive race, the super PAC aligned with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is pumping $5.4 million into ad spending in Michigan this week alone to help bolster Peters, the memo authored by James’ campaign also revealed.
“Chuck Schumer’s Senate Majority PAC will spend $5.4 million in one week — this is the most money they are spending on any Democrat in the entire nation,” James’ general consultant, Stu Sandler, wrote in a confidential memo obtained by Fox News. “They are very nervous about John James, and they should be.”

Please Lord, let it be for John James......amen
Th trend is your friend.
James has been behind all year but then swiftly caught up in the last few weeks.
He has the momentum.
Momentum = mass • velocity
I will be sending John James another $50 today.
Is that John James?
You know, if we just hold the Senate, that won’t be so bad.
Yes.
Pilot...very impressive!
That would be SO sweet!!
We should note that last week McConnell said he was ready to spend another 14 million on the James race.
GO JOHN!!! DO NOT DISS TRUMP!
James will help PT in MI.
Sharp
Attractive
ex-Military
BLACK (which is going to give the Dems headaches
all over urban Michigan)
I like his chances.
Go John Go.
Gary Peters has been avoiding debating John James. Peters agreed to a Detroit Public Television (which nobody watches) debate, whereas James accepted the WDIV-TV (Detroit NBC affiliate) debate. Peters is afraid a large black audience on WDIV would attract voters to James’ campaign. It’s doubtful there will be any debate...although with this poll Peters may start worrying and reluctantly agree to one.
Just curious, anyone heard about MT? I wrote off Daines when gov. Bullock announced cause he is almost as popular as for dem gov. Machin is in W.VA. All polls are saw Daines was losing by a good margin, but haven’t seen anything in a couple of months.
Good news. Too bad the article title was greatly exaggerated.
McSally was a dumb appointment. She lost the election, appointing her in hopes she would do better the next time was foolish IMHO.
2 years ago the RNC and GOP didn’t even take the field in the Rust Belt.. has they, I believe he could have won.
This time in a presidential year with Trump in the ballot he should win, provided the RNC/GOP don’t abandon him
I don’t think RNC will abandon him this time around. He has proved his mettle on the trail.
Not if you are Doug Ducey and want to keep the seat open for yourself in 2022.
Someone like Rep. Andy Biggs would be beating Kelly like a redheaded stepchild by now - but his presence would also close the door to any "McCain Moderates" hoping to regain control of that seat in the future.
