MI-Sen: Sen. Chuck Schumer (D. NY) Refuses To Let Trump's GOPer Take Down Sen. Gary Peters (D)
Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D. NY) in support of U.S. Senator Gary Peters (D. MI) re-election:
That’s what Donald Trump tweeted, officially endorsing GOP Senate candidate John James, who is trying unseat my colleague Gary Peters.
Big-money Republicans are funneling millions into Michigan, and it’s working: Gary was outraised last quarter, and the Cook Political Report has moved Gary’s race from “Likely” to “Lean Democrat.”
The facts are pretty clear here — and they’re also pretty scary:
Nate Silver says if Republicans can win in Michigan this year, they can keep control of the Senate.
CBS agrees — and says Gary’s seat could be THE race that decides control of the Senate.
And after Trump won Michigan in 2016, CNBC rated Gary as one of the most vulnerable Democrats up for reelection this year.
My friend and colleague Gary is focused on strengthening our middle class by protecting access to quality, affordable health care, preparing our kids for the jobs of tomorrow and helping small businesses grow.
