The Michigan Republican Party has canceled its primary election night watch party, citing the receipt of “several death threats” in the days leading up to Tuesday’s contest.
A female employee with the Michigan GOP received several “violent threats” outside the party’s headquarters on Tuesday morning, prompting party leaders to cancel the event. The woman had encountered a man who said he “was planning on shooting up the building and burning it down,” the party said in a statement.
House Democrats’ campaign arm spent $425,000 on an ad boosting Gibbs in the days before Tuesday’s election, calling him"handpicked by Trump to run for Congress" and"too conservative for west Michigan.” The ad was part of the party’s bigger efforts to meddle in GOP primaries to boost Republican candidates whom it believes Democrats have a better chance of defeating in November.
