MICHIGAN—With less than one week until the primary election on August 2, the state’s political balance could hinge on which candidates make their way through to the general elections.

Republican incumbents than any time in recent memory—representing an ideological gap that threatens to splinter the party and drain candidates’ resources leading up to competitive general elections against Democrats in November.

What happens on Aug. 2 could also change the course of Michigan’s Republican Party for the foreseeable future, as the DeVos family—long the most influential Michigan family in conservative politics—and former President Donald Trump have barbs over control of the Legislature.

The cheating will be over the top, though.

I loathe that creature that calls herself “governor” of Michigan.

The GOP in Michigan is on their way to becoming a permanent minority party. No GOP US Senators or Governor for many years. Just look at Illinois...
