Good news : Duggan really was serious about not wanting to be a spoiler. He saw that he would never win but he might have made a GOP win possible.

Former Detroit Mayor Duggan suspending Michigan governor run

Former Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan says he is suspending his campaign for Michigan governor, citing an increasingly “toxic” political climate due to President Donald Trump’s war with Iran and skyrocketing gas prices. Duggan, a longtime Democrat, was running as an independent to replace Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who can’t run again due to term limits. He told The Associated Press Thursday that it was going to be “very hard to win” as Democrats who would have supported him are galvanizing against what’s going on in Washington. Duggan said it became clear that the odds were stacking against him. An independent has never served as Michigan governor.

Who’s funding Michigan ballot campaigns? Dark money flows from out of state

Michigan campaigns to require proof of citizenship to vote, tax the rich to fund schools and limit corporate political spending are all at least partially funded by dark money groups from other states.

Mike Rogers, running in a historically terrible year for GOP candidates, seeking a seat he's already lost once (Slotkin beat him in '24), decided that fealty to Trump is more important than Michigan's most consequential economic development project in decades. He may believe he can't win without the support of Trump's mob. But betting on Trump, against your own constituents, seems like a bad move to me.

Trump has lost the Detroit Regional Chamber of Commerce. They aren't telling him to go piss up a rope, but they're very pointedly not getting in line behind him, either

Right now the only people backing Trump's latest nonsense are the candidates and electeds who need his mob to gain or keep power.

"[East Lansing Police Chief Jen Brown] has faced calls to resign after saying in September that East Lansing had a 'disproportionate number of minorities come into the community and commit crimes' when asked by local media to explain why the department used force against a higher percentage of Black individuals than Census data shows East Lansing's population is made up of."
