With Norris Howard and Devon O’Reilly, we unpack the pissed-off electorate, Whitmer’s data-center problem, and how PAC money and billionaire money are backfiring with voters. Many think that Michigan is a purple state, full of moderate ideas; and we talk about how voters are more angry than anything else. We talk about Trump’s underwater numbers, Mike Rogers’ vulnerability, and why running against the Democratic establishment might be the only way Democrats win in November. If you’re trying to read the Petoskey stones on where American politics goes next, Michigan is a good place to start.
