Michigan Representative Peter Meijer is facing off against challenger John Gibbs in what is expected to be a difficult GOP primary for the freshman incumbent after he voted to impeach Donald Trump.
Trump endorsed Gibbs last November. The Republican contender previously served in the former president's administration as acting assistant secretary of housing and urban development for community planning and development. ...

Little polling data has been released for Michigan's 3rd Congressional District race. But the survey results that have been released show Meijer facing an uphill battle with Republican voters.
A poll released in February by Impact Research showed that half of likely Republican voters in Meijer's district had an unfavorable view of the congressman. Only 34 percent viewed him favorably.
Furthermore, in a matchup with Gibbs, Meijer received only 19 percent of the vote, compared with 37 percent for his Trump-backed challenger. Other contenders garnered a combined 6 percent, while 38 percent of the respondents were undecided. Four hundred likely GOP voters were surveyed in the poll, which had a margin of error of plus or minus 4.9 percent.

Whether that has any bearing on August's Republican primary is not clear. Michigan does not require voters to be registered with a specific party to participate in a primary—meaning Meijer could receive support from Democratic and independent voters.
Meijer has also managed to raise a lot of money for his reelection. In the first quarter of 2022, the congressman brought in more than half a million dollars. He entered April with some $1.5 million in the bank, Bridge Michigan reported.

If it begins to look like Trump will win in 2024, the Democrats will cancel the election. If they have to, they’ll use foreign help to do it.
Haha. This my former district. People were angry at Justin Amash and voted in this loser. I’d much prefer Amash.
We must destroy all RINOs.
I hope they devastate the little shit. His grocery chain just put up no firearms decals on all their stores. The other choice in town is walmart and I hate that place.

Peeling them for the lowest price items is the best revenge.
My daughter lives in that district and is visiting us in maryland this week.
We just had the conversation about voting for Gibbs over the turncoat.
Excellent. Get that RINO scumbag out of there.
Meijer was further behind Norton in the primary before redistricting. Gibbs may very well lose to Scholton in the general if he pulls through in the primary. Trumps other pick Moolenaar has near zero grassroots support in the new 2nd. Almost no signs in yards over the new 20 County district. Rumored his endorsement was purchased makes sense as his current constituents are befuddled how Trump picked him over Norton. It’s Norton Country up here. Meijer needs to go.
He should go back to minding his stores.
No firearms = soft target. What an idiot.
