I am an @ezraklein stan but he’s wrong about candidate forums. The only Dems with an incentive to participate would be protest candidates trying to push her to the left on issues like Gaza. We need 100 days of unity and good vibes.

Michigan is powering the future and innovating the next generation of EVs. We’re grateful to the Biden-Harris Administration for choosing Michigan as a home to one of their new Workforce Hubs, helping us support good-paying jobs and manufacturing right here at home.
