Republican upstart John James conceded on Tuesday evening and congratulated Democrat Gary Peters for winning his second term as Michigan's junior senator.

"Today I believe it is the right thing to do to congratulate Sen. Peters," James, a military veteran, said in a video posted on Twitter. "Senator, you may not remember this, but you and I actually shared a glass of scotch at a Pistons game a few years back. So, in the spirit of the holidays, there is a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue Label coming your way soon."

Wow.

[madison10]

This is extremely sad.

[piasa]

Hope that bottle is well-aimed.

[Aria]

I bet he really won.

[Regulator]

In Michigan?

There’s no way he didn’t.

[JoSixChip]

We need fighters. Michigan is a joke, he should be holding out for an audit. The more that demand it, the more chance of getting it.

[piasa]

Antifa, chucking a Molotov Cocktail at a cop : “So, in the spirit of the holidays, there is a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue Label coming your way soon.”

[ConservativeMind]

Why would he do this if there were recounts and legal challenges ahead?

[jersey117]

He should have held out.

John James is very likely going to be ‘done’ with running for elective office, at least for a few years.
I believe this is his second consecutive loss within a three year span. Same thing happened to Dan Bongino, the ex-CIA man who ran for office a couple of times. These two, along with Laura Loomer are good people. Hopefully they will stay engaged in some manner. They are a part of the next generation of the GOP.

As the optimist I see this as conceding doesn’t cost him anything if President Trump prevails in Michigan and James’ election is also overturned. So, he could still be going to DC.

[Gay State Conservative]

I hope he realizes that he was robbed!

[BushCountry]

He’s been bought off.

[Ace's Dad]

RE “gentlemanly”

I’ve met the man. He is a true Officer and a Gentleman. And a Christian.

I pray he can still win the election.

[BatGuano]

“WOW.” indeed!
Not only concede but send him a bottle of good whiskey?
John James is a spineless wimp. We do not need him in our ranks. What happened to fight until the end?

“John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt,” his name is NOT my name, too.

[goodnesswins]

NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[JoSixChip]

As the optimist I see this as conceding doesn’t cost him anything if President Trump prevails in Michigan and James’ election is also overturned.

Then he is a coward, he should fight on to help Trump. Instead of letting Trump do all the heavy lifting like the rest of the gop.

[farming pharmer]

He’s been bought off.

Agreed. Nobody send a cheating SOB a 300 dollar bottle of scotch for no reason.

[madison10]

No, he was not “bought off.” Not his way. Threatened, maybe. Sees the handwriting on the wall, but never bought off.
