“Michigan is flashing warning signs for President Biden’s re-election bid,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“Top Democrats in this state that will help decide the presidential race are sounding alarms about recent polls showing Biden trailing Donald Trump, the Republican presidential front-runner, by nearly double-digits. Michigan Rep. Elissa Slotkin, who is seeking to succeed retiring Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow in the state’s Senate race, has expressed concerns that Biden’s bad poll numbers could hurt her race and other down-ballot contests, according to people who have spoken with her.”
“Biden is working to shore up his support in the state, including with overtures to its more than 300,000 auto workers. He is expected to address the United Auto Workers at its political conference in Washington, according to people familiar with the plans, in an effort to secure the union’s endorsement as soon as this week. White House aides have said Biden plans to return to Michigan before the Feb. 27 primary.”
