John James’ Donald Dilemma comes to a head as he picks cozying up to Trump over protecting funding for MI
Michigan is expected to face a budget shortfall upwards of $3 billion, but failed politician John James is still refusing to comment on Trump’s threat to withhold funding from the state. James has made clear he’s “all for” Trump’s agenda – and is now showing he’ll stand by him even when it hurts Michigan.
This latest threat to Michigan’s working families comes just weeks after Mitch McConnell said he’d rather let the state go “the bankruptcy route” than provide state and local funding relief amid COVID-19. Predictably, James was silent and wouldn’t stand up for families and workers – including firefighters, law enforcement, and health care and education professionals.
“Michiganders are facing the biggest economic crisis in a generation, but John James is siding with Trump and Washington Republicans even as they threaten to let the state fail,” said Michigan Democratic Party spokesperson Elena Kuhn. “James’ silence shows he’s willing to stand with Trump 2,000% even if it means Michiganders will be left out to dry.”
The Michigan Democratic Party launched JohnJamesRevealed.com to hold the failed U.S. Senate candidate accountable for his positions – including those made over the course of the 2018 campaign that he then tried to delete after losing that campaign. Since announcing he’d run again, just over six months after his last failed bid, James has been hiding from Michigan voters and refusing to answer questions from Michigan media.
