Senator Stabenow Confirms Support For Democratic Candidate In Michigan Senate Race

Democratic candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives Jared Golden from Maine

Democratic Senator Debbie Stabenow from Michigan recently appeared on a morning show to discuss the upcoming Senate race in the state. Stabenow confirmed that she will not be endorsing any candidate in the primary, including Alyssa Slotkin, who is currently leading among Democrats. Stabenow emphasized the importance of allowing a robust primary process to unfold in Michigan.

When asked about potentially supporting a Republican candidate, Stabenow expressed openness to supporting Republicans who prioritize the country over party lines. However, she made it clear that she is backing the Democratic candidate in the Senate race and highlighted concerns about Republican candidates aligning with former President Donald Trump's policies.

Stabenow raised specific issues such as reproductive rights and healthcare decisions, pointing out potential consequences if a Republican candidate supporting restrictive measures were to win the election. She expressed confidence in the Democratic candidate's ability to uphold values important to Michigan residents.

Stabenow, a Michigan State University alumna, engaged in a light-hearted exchange about college allegiances with the interviewer, who mentioned family ties to the University of Michigan. Despite the friendly banter, Stabenow reiterated her support for the Democratic candidate and her confidence in the party's prospects in the upcoming election.
