Granderson: Democratic victories in Michigan show the way to 2024 (via latimesopinion)
It’s been 40 years since Democrats controlled both chambers and the governor’s office. On the flip side, Republicans most recentlyfrom 2011 to 2018. Before that, it was 1999 to 2002. It happened in the mid-’90s as well. But by flipping both House and Senate on Tuesday, voters have given Democrats the most power they’ve had in the state since I was in elementary school. A lot of that had to with protecting abortion rights, something Whitmer’s opponent vowed to strip away.
Here’s an idea for lawmakers who fear critical race theory and don’t want to be plagued with white guilt: Teach about heroic white abolitionists as well as white enslavers. If President Biden decides not to seek reelection, do not underestimate her chances for the Democratic nomination and the White House. She outraised her opponent, Tudor Dixon, who was endorsed by Trump and financially backed by his Education secretary, Betsy DeVos, and her family. Whitmer was also greatly aided by the Democratic Governors Assn., which has emphasized that the party needs not only Michigan but also her.
It’s not money, ads and maneuvering that win elections. The voters have to trust you. And those in Michigan also voted blue for attorney general and secretary of state.
