John Gibbs's victory underscores the continued potency of Trumpism and the Big Lie among Republicans—it will also be a test of a controversial strategy Democrats have deployed in Michigan to flip the district.
Democrats have deployed in Michigan in an effort to flip the district. Viewing Gibbs as a more beatable opponent than Meijer, who defeatedby six points two years ago, Democrats put hundreds of thousands of dollars behind the election denier. Scholten, who ran unopposed in the Democratic primary this cycle, may have an easier time in a general election against a guy who once’s former campaign manager of taking part in Satanic rituals than a comparatively moderate Republican.
“Over the course of the midterms, Democrats seem to have forgotten just where those limits lie,” Meijer continued. A couple caveats here: First, it’s unclear how much the $300,000 in ad buys pumping up Gibbs’ loyalty to Trump factored into his narrow win Tuesday. On the one hand, as Meijer wrote Monday, that’s “not an insignificant amount of money” — it basically doubled what Gibbs had raised in his campaign. But as, the investment in Meijer’s opponent paled in comparison to the Democratic spending in other races, like the money Illinois Governor.
