And so it’s begun:
A national group focused on electing Republicans to the U.S. Senate is rolling out a new Michigan ad Tuesday targeting Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow of Lansing, an early sign the GOP could make a real run at a seat it hasn’t held in 16 years.
The ad, set to air during the University of Michigan versus Michigan State men’s basketball game on ESPN, seeks to put pressure on Stabenow to confirm Neil Gorsuch, President Donald Trump’s pick to fill a vacant seat on the U.S. Supreme Court.
The National Republican Senatorial Committee says the limited-run ad is part of an “aggressive” media campaign targeting Senate Democrats in states Trump won on Nov. 8. It’s the first paid ad by the NRSC in Michigan for the 2018 election cycle.
McConnell and the Senate GOP stole this seat from Merrick Garland so no Democrat should cower under this type of intimidation. If you live in Michigan, put the pressure on Stabenow to stand up and reject Trump’s SCOTUS nominee. Below are her office addresses and numbers:
