Gretchen Whitmer has just received notice that the Michigan Republican Party may really be in the mood to fight for her seat next year.
may be.
As rumored since the beginning of May this year, the former senior police officer in Detroit officially announced on Tucker Carlson’s program that he will seek the Republican nomination and run for governor with Gretchen Whitmer next year.from Fox News…
The recently retired Detroit Police Chief James Craig joined “Tucker Carlson Tonight” on Wednesday to expand what he believes is the failed leadership of current Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, and announced the establishment of the Governor’s Exploration Committee.
Craig is a native of Detroit. He led the law enforcement forces in the Auto City after serving in Cincinnati and Portland for the past 8 years. He said he “protected and served for 44 years” and now wants to do the same for the entire state of Michigan.
“We formed the Chief James Craig Discovery Committee today,” the Republican said, adding that he protected his city from the devastating left-wing riots that broke out in Philadelphia, New York, and Los Angeles last year in other places:
“We know what happened last year when other cities burned-Portland, Seattle, Los Angeles, Chicago-and Detroit didn’t burn.”
He added that another major concern for the people of Michigan is the leadership or lack of leadership of Governor Gretchen Whitmer. When criticizing the statewide socioeconomic blockade, the name of the Democratic Party is often mentioned along with the liberal governors of New York, California, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey.
This is just a quick side note. Why do politicians announce that they are forming a committee instead of just saying: “I am running for this seat”?
Now, the news that Craig is seeking this seat is not entirely surprising.As I wrote earlier in Red State, the news that Craig might run is called in the podcasts I listen to Charlie LeDuff no nonsense news time. From my article may…
In today’s show, Charlie and his co-hosts Karen Dumars, Mark Fairhauer and the Detroit Reds announced some what Charlie called “half-familiar news.” There are rumors that Detroit Police Chief James Craig will run as a Republican against Whitmer next year.
This is the “No Nonsense News Time” announcement at 2:09 today…
Charlie: Who will compete with Gretchen Whitmer on the Republican side because they have no candidates? This is what I heard. No Bullshit News Hour learned that Detroit Police Chief James Craig is very likely and likely to resign his seat and run for the Republican candidate nominated by the governor of Michigan.
Then, he confirmed the report with Karen, who has worked in Detroit and Michigan state politics and has many contacts in Motor City and its surrounding areas. She heard exactly the same thing as LeDuff was told.
Since the initial announcement in May, and perhaps more likely to happen, it has been revealed that people in the Republican Party of Michigan are actively recruiting candidates for the election, and Craig is at the top of this list. That part is not shocking. What worries me a bit is that since John Engler stepped down in 2002, the Michigan Republican Party has a very poor record of being competent in this way. Before any of you from Michigan says “Rick Snyder,” please stop and show yourself to your door, because you know he is not a party choice.
Now that Craig has announced, what will happen?
A number of other candidates have already announced, including Garrett Soldano, who has participated in the petition to unlock Michigan from the very beginning, which deprived Gretchen Whitmer of using the ancient The law locks in the capacity of the state. Through this effort, he gained a large number of followers in the state. If the Michigan Republican Party unilaterally decides that Craig is that person, they will anger a group of potential voters to expel Greche in November 2022.
This balancing act done by the Michigan Republican Party in the past is why I wrote this article a few days ago: Is Michigan ready to vote for Gretchen Whitmer next year?
Of course, everyone yelled “yes”, but when it was really implemented, if the people who voted felt that their people were screwed up, then after the Republican Party meeting in August next year, when the call for unity comes At that time, you are asking yourself questions.
I’m not saying that this will happen, but it has happened a lot here in the past 20 years, and it made this state politically a disaster for the Republican Party. The House of Representatives and the Senate are held by Republicans in the state because of the re-divisions implemented by John Engler after the 1990 and 2000 censuses, and all this is because of Big John.
James Craig looks like an interesting candidate, and I look forward to him and other candidates attending the Republican nomination meeting and discussing how they can lead the state’s vision better than Gretchen Whitmer.
Let us hope she is just a nightmare for a semester after November next year.
