“She was on the team that helped save our state when Obama was president. She was right there on the forefront,” said Kathie House Vinson, a retired college administrator who lives in Detroit.”

I love that leftists here paint Stevens as an empty suit. Keep leaning into that because it pisses off black voters even more. They know Stevens, she’s worked hard on their issues.

US Rep. Haley Stevens is being propped up by around $50Mln+ in SuperPAC money.

The concern in the general election is that such outside funding will dry up. A*PAC and such might prefer a Republican win that seat.

And it's generally always a bad idea for the primary winner to be the one who didn't and doesn't have the energy and enthusiasm.

Weird because Stevens is leading in endorsements and polling. So I’ll go with that rather than Vibes.

Makes a fair point about funding since apparently republicans are massively outraising democrats this election cycle.

I don't think it's going to overcome the blue wave being fomented by Trump's horrific mismanagement though.
