But they'll have spent a lot of their money.

They'll have been beaten up by the other two.

And it's hard running statewide in Michigan.

It ain't easy.

And Mike Rogers has got the experience of having done it.

Lastly, there's a governor's race in the state.

It's going to be a three-way contest with an independent, the former mayor of Detroit.

And that kind of scrambles things.

Hard to know how it will impact what happens in the Senate race.

But this is another one where if you told me right now I've seen the future and Mike Rogers wins, whoever the Democratic nominee is.

I wouldn't be surprised.

And if it is the Bernie candidate, if it is the super progressive candidate, Michigan has not elected someone as liberal as him to statewide office in forever.

So let's see who the nominee is.

Let's see how strong they are.

But I would say both both the doctor and Mallory McMorrow.

If they turned out to be weak Senate candidates, not good at handling opposition research, not good at defending their more progressive views, wouldn't be the least bit surprised.

So that's another one where I think Democrats, my sources say Mike Rogers could win that race.

And and when I do my reporting, I talk to people in both parties.

If all the Republicans say one thing, you know, if all the Republicans say Mike Rogers will win and all the Democrats say the Democrat will win.

You know, I factored that in, and Ty would go probably to the incumbent party in most cases.
