Michigan Republicans are in for a messy, unwieldy primary in the 10th Congressional District.
The open MI-10 “is making GOP leadership nervous” – with Lisa McClain herself pointedly admitting “that’s an understatement to say that it’s not ideal” – and the race is “ginning up concern that Republicans will exit the primary wounded” that “give[s] Democrats fodder that can be used in a general election contest.”
Robert Lulgjuraj is already trading barbs with potential candidate Mike Bouchard Jr. – or, scratch that, Mike Bouchard, who’s playing spokesperson for his son.
Lulgjuraj: “Just because your father’s a politician or your grandfather’s a politician doesn’t mean that we’re gonna take the crown off someone else’s head and bless it to another candidate.”
Bouchard: “Robert’s a nice young man, but I think that it’s going to be tough for him to get where he needs to go”
DCCC Spokesperson Katie Smith:
“Things are already getting messy for Republicans in Michigan’s 10th Congressional District, as they’re scrambling to defend an open seat and staring down a contentious primary with a lackluster field. Democrats are in position to flip this seat because Michiganders are ready for a representative focused on getting costs down.”
