Sandy Pensler Joins Crowded GOP Primary for Michigan Senate Seat

The businessman's second bid comes as the Republicans vie for a seat held by Democrats since 2001, with potential influence from a Trump endorsement.

Sandy Pensler, a Republican businessman, has announced his second bid for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Democratic four-term incumbent Debbie Stabenow.
Pensler joins a crowded field of Republican candidates including former U.S. Reps. Peter Meijer and Mike Rogers, and former Detroit Police Chief James Craig.
The primary's winner will face off against the Democratic nominee, likely either Lansing-area Rep. Elissa Slotkin or Good Doctor actor Hill Harper.
Pensler, who lost the GOP primary for Senate in 2018, has poured millions into his campaign, stating that 'the American experiment is in big trouble' and it's time to take 'the Senate back from the morons.'
Former President Donald Trump’s potential endorsement in the Senate race could have a large impact in a state that he won in 2016. Trump endorsed James over Pensler in 2018.
