## Resource

The Republican governor’s race in Michigan just got a lot tighter: Mike Cox has dropped out and is backing John James, leaving only James and Perry Johnson in the running ahead of the August primary. Cox cited Trump’s endorsement of James as the tipping point, saying internal polls since June made it clear he couldn’t compete. With the field now narrowed to just two, all eyes are on how James and Johnson will battle it out as the election draws near.
