MI 8-Melissa Gilbert ends election bid

[Pragmatic Conservative]

That leaves  Linda Keefe as the only Democratic candidate, Gilbert will remain on the primary ballot.

Gilbert wasn't running a great campaign and had tons of issues anyway, so no big loss.

Still, Safe Republican unless Democrats recruit another candidate (Barb Byrum).

I'd vote for Sara Gilbert just so I can hear possible Green Party VP nominee (assuming Mesplay gets more than four delegates) Roseanne Barr yell "DARRRLLLEEENNNEEE!!" one more time.

Keefe was disqualified. So now the Democrats have no candidate in a swing district.

They can appoint someone by the way.

Better find someone for wave insurance.
