## Resource

The Gordie Howe International Bridge, a $4.4 billion lifeline between Michigan and Canada, is delayed—and Democrats are turning it into a political weapon. Challenger Mallory McMorrow’s new ad accuses President Trump of intentionally blocking the bridge’s opening, tying it to a $1 million donation from a billionaire family that owns the Ambassador Bridge. With the primary heating up, McMorrow’s bold move aims to carve out a spotlight in a crowded race—and could reshape the swing-state narrative.
