Yeah, this makes no sense he would have had and may still have if he reverses course quickly a strong shot at the nomination. Short of just wanting to sabotage Dems don't see the logic behind this.
That's for them to work out, but first they should try to reach out and start communicating very soon. He has a phone and aides, yes? He apparently wants to do a listening tour in the article I saw, presumably to get a reading of the state.
The state party can't stop people from running in the primary. With such a big price at least one person will collect enough signatures to run in the dem primary.
Not running a major party candidate only really works in deep blue/red states where there is no hope for one party. Or with an independent incumbent like Bernie Sanders.
MI-Gov: Duggan's running as an independent. Huge headache in arguably the marquee gubernatorial race of the cycle.
Crazy stuff! And tbh quite unnecessary in an R midterm
Why? His positions are bog-standard Democrat and тАЬI brought back Detroit after itтАЩs bankruptcyтАЭ is a powerful message in a primary

The brain worm strikes again.
yeah I'm fucking perplexed and disappointed. His team didn't think he could beat Benson in the primary.
Yet they believe they can win a three-way race with her as the Dem nominee?
idk man
They should negotiate with him about this. Plenty of time to defuse the bomb.
What's to negotiate? We're not going to guarantee him the nomination.

Wonder if the state party chooses to endorse him and not run a candidate?
No, he'll finish third.
Mike Duggan may well finish third. The danger is that he may well help a Republican candidate finish first.

What a weird, disappointing, and potentially hugely problematic decision.
Why do i have a negative connotation with this guy? Did he endorse a republican?
Not that IтАЩm aware. And heтАЩs been an excellent Mayor
He's been fairly inoffensive on that front as far as I know.
His policies seem to be really helping the city too.
