Sen. Debbie Stabenow’s (D-MI) surprise retirement announcement in January set off significant recruitment efforts on both sides of the aisle.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee, the Senate GOP campaign arm, vowed in a statement at the time to “aggressively target this seat in 2024.” More than eight months later, none of their potential recruits have gotten in the race, though a number are considering it.Democrats, meanwhile, have Rep. Elissa Slotkin and progressive actor Hill Harper in their primary contest.
All five are considering a bid, though the source noted that the NRSC has not determined whether it will weigh in on the Michigan primary yet. "I think they’re watching me, and they should," Craig said of his possible primary opponents, adding that he’ll announce his decision in the next 60 days. Meijer is the great-grandson of the founder of the Meijer supermarket chain, a mainstay in Michigan that grew his family’s net worth to an estimated $6 billion. That fortune gives Meijer the ability to self-fund, making him an appealing candidate for the NRSC as it tries to allocate resources effectively ahead of what’s shaping up to be an expensive election cycle.
