On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Inside Politics,” Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) stated that it’s been “frustrating” that voters don’t give President Joe Biden enough credit on the economy, “but I think people have gone through such a funk coming out of COVID.

Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) on Sunday called President Biden’s comments last year about former President Trump’s handling of classified documents “embarrassing” amid the discovery of classified documents at Biden’s own residence. “Well, it’s certainly embarrassing,” Stabenow told host Chuck Todd on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” But the Michigan senator said that though the recent discovery of “a small number” of classified documents from Biden’s time as vice president at an old Washington, D.C., office and at his Wilmington, Del., home was an embarrassing slip-up, she emphasized that the Biden team has cooperated with authorities on the matter.

On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Chairwoman Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) stated that the FDA moved too slowly to address the formula shortage and didn’t notify the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) until two weeks before the Abbott plant was shut down and that it seems as though “FDA thought it was going to be a short shutdown, and then the plant itself, Abbott, has been resistant, really, in my judgment, to really quickly doing what they need to do.” Stabenow said, “USDA was given about two weeks’ heads-up before the plant...

A reporter for a Michigan newspaper called Michigan Senate Republican candidate John James’s campaign looking for an interview and thought she hung up the phone before leaving a voicemail saying “f---ing John James … that would suck.” .. “The liberal media can’t stand the idea of a job creator and combat veteran coming to Washington to shake up the system.

John James' campaign for US Senate in Michighan has caught fire at just the right time. He needs our help. Last month John James was “just another” Republican running against an incumbent Democrat who was on his way to be road kill. James was down 23 points to Democrat Debbie Stabenow with no hope of catching her. Nevertheless, a new EPIC-MRA poll from Michigan shows that for the first time since July Stabenow is below 50% support. In fact, over the last four weeks, Stabenow has dropped 7 points and James has picked up 9 points which is something the...

Michigan Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D) now holds just a single-digit lead over her GOP challenger in a poll released Thursday that just last month showed her ahead by more than 20 points.

Time to take another Senate seat out of the safe column for Democrats? A month ago, incumbent Democrat Sen. Debbie Stabenow had a massive 23-point lead over Republican challenger John James in the EPIC-MRA Poll. RealClearPolitics wrote that “there is little evidence that [James] poses a threat to Debbie Stabenow, who holds double-digit leads and is at about 50 percent in the polls.” Today, the Detroit Free Press finds much more evidence of that threat — and perhaps for an across-the-board collapse for Democrats in Michigan: [I]n the U.S. Senate race, where the Democratic incumbent, U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow, has...
