Former Rep. Peter Meijer is dropping his bid for Michigan’s open Senate seat, the Republican said in a statement Friday.
“The hard reality is the fundamentals of the race have changed since we launched this campaign. After prayerful consideration, today I withdrew my name from the primary ballot. Without a strong pathway to victory, continuing this campaign only increases the likelihood of a divisive primary that would distract from the essential goal – conservative victories in November,” Meijer said.
One of just 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump after the January 6, 2021, riot, Meijer narrowly lost his House primary race in the 2022 midterms to a Trump-endorsed challenger. He entered the state’s Senate race last year despite discouragement from the national party.
The move comes days after Meijer announced that he had turned in enough signatures to qualify for the ballot.
The US Army veteran who served in Iraq leaves a crowded field of candidates vying to replace longtime Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow, including former Michigan Rep. Mike Rogers, who Trump endorsed last month. The winner of the GOP primary is likely to take on Rep. Elissa Slotkin, whom Democrats have largely coalesced around in the key battleground state.

Still time for Meijer to enter the Dem primary.
Probably got a good look at the numnber of African “refugee” freeloader voter registrations. Big City Michigan is mostly an African colony now.
Gasp Despair what will we do now? /s
TRUMP CURSE
Peter Meijer is anything but a republican. He is just one of those rich guys who is a leftist and thinks he can buy a republican seat then sit there as a moderate. While really being a democrat who votes republican only when it doesn’t matter.
Too bad... it would have been fun to watch him get his ash kicked.
Or just stick to the Family business. We need grocers more than politicians.
The old adage of: “If you shoot at the King, don’t miss” comes to mind.
Let me know what that sumuva drops out of an aircraft without a parachute.
POS
All of the cabal needs to go.
