I know she already ruled it out, but Gretchen Whitmer would undoubtedly be the best candidate here. I imagine she wants to keep serving as Governor to prepare for a potential White House bid / VP candidacy in 2028 (or 2024 if Biden doesn’t run), or maybe a cabinet position in the future.

That said, Slotkin would be a very good candidate and it seems like she may already be clearing the field to a degree. We’ll see, though. She would be giving up a competitive House seat, though, so I’m not sure if she’s my personal favorite. I’d rather have her defend her House seat and see someone like Haley Stevens run.

As for Republicans: they don’t have a great bench. Peter Meijer probably won’t win a Republican primary, and John James has already lost 2 senate races (but I wouldn’t be surprised if he ran again). Otherwise, not sure who the GOP’s top candidate is.

Yeah I think this is good for Michigan Democrats, it seems like Slotkin will clear the field. Slotkin will likely run for Senate, and Stevens for re-election. And hopefully Andy Levin runs against John James in MI-10 (he should’ve done it last year, but I think he’d have a decent shot in 2024).

The downside of Slotkin running for Senate is obviously that her seat will be vulnerable now. Any thoughts on who may run on the Democratic (and Republican) side in MI-07?

Endorsed. Aside from Gretchen Whitmer (who has already declined to run), Slotkin is probably the best candidate Democrats could run here. I expect she’ll clear the Democratic primary field.

Tom Barrett had been mentioned as a possible Senate candidate, but it looks like he’ll be running for MI-07 again instead:
