MI Governor 2018

[Pollster]

My guess is Kildee decides to defend his seat (which swung from Obama 61-38 to Clinton 50-46) and Whitmer wins the nomination easily barring a challenge from a celebrity candidate (Michael Moore the first that comes to mind, I doubt he goes for it).

Whitmer wins the GE by a comfortable margin. Big hypothetical, but if she is reelected and maintains strong numbers I suspect she will be discussed as a VP pick as early as 2024 if not a POTUS candidate herself.

Whitmer is a strong candidate - she connects well with voters and shows incredible discipline on the campaign trail. The damage that Snyder and the Flint crisis have done to the Michigan GOP as well as being on the ticket with Stabenow will help her.

Whitmer narrowly outraised Schuette in Q4, $747,284 to $735,000.

Schuette maintains a cash-on-hand lead of $2,412,404 to $1,867,230.

El-Sayed significantly trails his performance from previous quarters - raised $281,010 in Q4, $837,519 on hand.

Is a Whitmer/El-Sayed ticket feasible?
