Show notes
In today's episode we make a prediction: That Vice President Kamala Harris will win Michigan in 2024 and that Rep. Elissa Slotkin will win her U.S. Senate race, too.
We might be wrong — but this is not just based on thin air.
We take our experience, the data we do have, and put it all together to analyze things how they stand. We think, from a lens being in Metro Detroit and Michigan, and respectfully, that some in the media like Steve Kornacki, Harry Enten, Dan Pfeiffer, and others may have missed a key indicator when trying to analyze this race.
