On today’s Daily Detroit:

A plot to kidnap Governor Gretchen Whitmer has been stopped, with charges against six men; as well as seven others for a plot to attack the State Capitol.

Plus, conservative hoaxers were arraigned for voter intimidation of Detroiters.

And the bulk of the episode is a deep-dive conversation with Steve Friess of Newsweek and Hour Detroit. He’s back to talk to intelligently talk about the prospects of races for two local U.S. House seats (held by Elissa Slotkin, MI-8; and Haley Stevens, MI-11), as well as the Senate race between Gary Peters and John James.
