Gilchrist? No, he’s the current lieutenant governor.
Mayor Duggan running as an independent is going to make things interesting - I have a feeling he’s going to drag down whoever the Democrat is more than he will the Republican, unless/until he drops out. Barring anything there, I think the Republicans being in charge nationally is going to be a boon for state-level Dems - the backlash to Trump 1.0 was a big part of the blue wave in 2018 when Whitmer was elected the first time around.
Pass. Anyone the Dems field will be better than him. I’d be perfectly happy with Gilchrist or Benson
Isn’t he a Republican?
I have to admit I’m worried about how Benson would perform in a general election considering all the shit thrown at her amid COVID/voter registration

Sorry I should’ve clarified- I was referring to John James, though I think I misinterpreted your initial statement altogether
