@juliehuz@mastodon.world I'm confused though... Detroit isnt moderate so appealing to moderates wouldn't have helped there. And he didn't lose so he obviously didn't send out a concession speech... If he lost I have no doubt he would have encouraged folks to vote for her. Where as her supporters have talked about voting for Rogers over him...

@Doodlelegs@mastodon.social Results are broken down by county. Wayne County encompases both Detroit and surrounding white working class suburbs to the west and north west - they do run much more conservative. The journalist in the article linked didn't make the distinction and therefore I didn't either. Democrats can only win statewide when they are able pull super-majorities in cities like Detroit, Flint, Grand Rapids and Lansing and majorities in the surrounding white working-class suburbs.
