DCCC Statement on Christina Hines Winning the WDIV Flashpoint Debate

Following Christina Hines’ decisive victory in today’s WDIV Flashpoint debate against Trump lackey Michael Bouchard Junior, DCCC spokesperson Katie Smith released the following statement:

“Christina Hines is a mom and prosecutor who has taken on the worst of the worst to keep her community safe – and today, she proved once again that she will stand up to anyone who gets in the way of her fight to lower costs for families like her own. Michael Bouchard Junior proved he sides with Trump at Michiganders’ expense, and won’t have the spine to vote to end the Iran War, end the tariffs, or end the health care cuts spiking prices. The choice in this race is clear: Christina fights for Michigan, Bouchard Junior fights for Trump.” 

Key Debate Moments:

  • Bouchard Junior was asked point blank if he would vote for the war powers resolutions to end the Iran War. He refused to say an unqualified “yes” – unsurprising given the many previous instances he has backed and defended this war.
  • Christina held Bouchard Junior’s feet to the fire for his support for Trump’s tariffs, Iran War, and health care cuts raising prices for Michiganders.
  • Christina corrected the record on Bouchard Junior’s lies – and reiterated her commitment to fully funding law enforcement including doubling the size of the unit investigating internet crimes against children.
