## Resource

The Michigan GOP governor’s race just got wilder: Mike Cox drops out after Trump backs John James, leaving a two-horse race between James and Perry Johnson. James frames it as unity, rallying former rivals while promising to beat Democrat Jocelyn Benson. Johnson, seizing the moment, dubs himself the outsider who can unite the GOP and win — betting that most voters are already skeptical of James. The stage is set for a high-stakes showdown to decide who’ll lead Michigan in November. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
