Stabenow to retire, creating GOP pickup opportunity in Michigan
The Hill ^ | 01/05/2023 | ALEXANDER BOLTON

Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), the chairwoman of the Democratic Policy and Communications Committee and a close ally of Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), announced Thursday she is not running for reelection in 2024.

The announcement is a blow to Democrats’ hopes of keeping their Senate majority in 2025 as they face a tough Senate map this cycle.

“Inspired by a new generation of leaders, I have decided to pass the torch in the U.S. Senate. I am announcing today that I will not seek re-election and will leave the U.S. Senate at the end of my term on January 3, 2025,” Stabenow announced Thursday.

Stabenow, the chairwoman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, says she will focus on passing the farm bill, which provides hundreds of billions of dollars in support to agriculture, in the 118th Congress.

“For the next two years, I am intensely focused on continuing this important work to improve the lives of Michiganders. This includes leading the passage of the next five-year Farm Bill which determines our nation’s food and agriculture policies,” she said.

Mi elections are totally corrupt. Witch Whitmer and her Soros paid coven makes it worse. Reps better start ballot harvesting now.

If the GOP couldn’t even win against a retard in PA, its highly unlikely they could win MI.

Stabenow to retire, creating GOP pickup opportunity in Michigan

Amazing how certain outlets still try to give the illusion that things are still legitimate. Michigan is controlled by Democrats across the board. No Republican will win that state ever again.

https://news.yahoo.com/michigan-democrats-control-state-house-164952838.html .... Democrats control the Governor’s office, AG, House, Senate and court. If anyone thinks that was accomplished by free and fair elections, they’re dreaming. If anyone thinks they’ll ever be free and fair elections in that state, ever again, they’re hitting the pipe way too hard.

The fix has already been made to replace bozo the clown.

I’ll bet the replacement ballots are ready to be printed.

25 years in Congress so far, will be 27 when she exits. She is a poster child for term limits.

Michigan elections are corrupt - there will be no GOP pickup, ever.

You can’t win a rigged game. Mail in ballots, ballot harvesting, friendly machines will see to it that the ‘right’ person wins.

Could be, but 2 years between the end of her term and the general election might be a risk. We'll see.

Soon we will hear the voices proclaiming that we must choose the right candidate (meaning a candidate that suits the speaker, whether conservative or moderate) and when the Republican loses the election we will hear voices telling us we picked the wrong candidate, he or she was too far left (or right), too divisive, that the RNC and Mitch McConnell subverted the campaign, that it's Donald Trump's fault...

If we lose the reality will be that we lost the election years ago we lost our educational institution, the media, social media, the donor class, and virtually every cultural institution in America. Top-down solutions will avail nothing any more than top down recriminations will fix the problem.

“If the GOP couldn’t even win against a retard in PA, its highly unlikely they could win MI.”

Democrats have found the perfect formula for victory—they will run all chimps from now on—and accuse anyone who dares oppose them of being human hegemony extremists!

Michigan GOP has to roll out its own ballot harvesting to counter the machine.

Also the GOP in State needs to get a clue and not be inept

An new opportu8ntiy for John James, who was recently elected to the House (which he did with very little national GOP incumbents support).

Funniest Story of the Day - A Senate Seat pick-up in Michigan - The State that re-elected the Witch by 10%+.

The Michigan GOP will nominate a spineless, lazy, worthless candidate who will concede within 5 minutes of the polls closing.
