John James has won the Republican nomination in Michigan's U.S. Senate race.
With 29 percent of precincts reporting, initial results on Tuesday night showed James with 56.96 percent of the vote to opponent Sandy Pensler's 43.04 percent. The Associated Press called the race for James at 10:11 p.m.
James will go on to face incumbent Democrat Debbie Stabenow in the general election. Stabenow, who was unopposed in the Democratic primary, was first elected to represent Michigan in the U.S. Senate since 2000.
In a statement following the call, James said Stabenow "better get ready for the fight of her political life."
"I don't have a Black message. I don't have a White message. I have a Michigan message," James said. "We need people who have experience getting results. You aren't going to get results from a 43-year career politician."

Awesome!
We also held Ohio despite the RINO governor backstabbing Balderson because the President endorsed him.
And the crazy woman from Eww Yuck... So far everyone she endorsed has lost their races.
Winning!
As an added bonus, the deadbeat broke DNC will have to dump alot of Cash to push Stab-us-all across the finish line.
So are the Detroit blacks going to vote for him in the general?
Hope this guy beats Stabenow like a redheaded mule!
im in Michigan!!...this is the guy that win in Macomb and Oakland counties...and finally take down that fat ass walrus.
Yeah!!! |

Some of them, no.
James is too “white” for some black voters.
He’s not “down with the struggle”.
Sadly, black voters have been hijacked by the Left.
“John was my MBA classmate at Michigan. He is the real deal. Will be a great conservative leader in the senate.”
Awesome!

Good Lord, that happened 53 years ago (Lyndon Johnson).
Trump has moved black support from 15% to 29% in just over one year!!
Highly recommend "Death of a Nation," in theaters now. Great history lesson of the Democratic party. Blacks in America are waking up by the day... except maybe Chicago. Go figure.
Scott of SC is such a Never Trumper bummer-this guy sounds like such a winner!
I hope so too.
I will not hold a Michigan MBA against anyone. It does discount it a bit, tho ;)
Go State!
Worthy black Republicans tend to have funding problems — that are worth fixing here. Trump needs to go eyeball-to-eyeball with the RNC in support of this guy.
Even if he gets 20 percent of the blacks in Michigan, I think hell win.
Its candidates like James who will get my campaign donations.
It’ll be necessary to put our money where our mouth is in the coming election cycle for good candidates like James.
They actually moved to the Dems starting in 1932 a bit but just four years later FDR got a majority for the first time ever as a Democrat
And its been that way ever since
LBJ just locked it up further.....pity
My son was looking at old photos tonight of blacks in suits with families intact going to church etc
He commented damn that was sure a different era.....asking me....I said yep things have gotten progressively worse for them
Mostly their own fault but they have certainly been exploited by political overlords
Really even from Reconstruction on...
I think Trump is genuinely open to helping them help themselves
They should listen
Dinesh...no thanks but you enjoy
Ooooh RAH!
