MADISON HEIGHTS, Mich. — If time is money, House leaders are investing in Michigan this week.
Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., and Richard Hudson of North Carolina, the chair of the National Republican Congressional Committee, on Tuesday brought a crew of House Republicans to campaign with two candidates who are fighting for a pair of open seats in central Michigan that could be key to the party expanding its majority or offsetting losses elsewhere.
The following day, their Democratic opponents rallied with Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York, who hopes the party will hold both seats and boost his chances of becoming the next speaker.
