Nominating Buttigieg for a U.S. Senate race in Michigan would be effectively handing a Senate seat to the Republicans. The GOP attacks on him being a carpetbagger from Indiana write themselves.

Yup. Not sure why Republicans get away with it but we sure won’t. Especially not a gay guy.

They didn't get away with it. Slotkin made a huge issue about Mike Rogers residence. Although in his case he was from Mich but moved to Florida and didn't really move back.

Eh. Less of a worry. Michigan has already elected a lesbian statewide. And other states have elected gay governors.
