Michigan just delivered a political earthquake, and former executive director of the Michigan Republican Party and current COO of the Lincoln Project Jeff TImmer us to break it all down.
Abdul El-Sayed pulled off an upset Senate primary win despite being vastly outspent by Haley Stevens, and Timmer explains why money alone couldn’t buy this race. He digs into the deeper story: a bipartisan wave of economic anxiety, skyrocketing healthcare costs, and voters in both parties desperate to punish incumbents and reward outsiders with a clear message.
On the Republican side, Timmer offers a sharp, insider’s take on Mike Rogers: the one-time mainstream Republican who “went into deep freeze” in 2014 and reemerged in 2026 running a MAGA-era campaign with 1990s instincts, all while carrying a voting record on the Affordable Care Act that clashes with what voters actually want.
