Peter Meijer leaves GOP race for US Senate
Michigan has an open seat because of a decision by U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., to forego running for a fifth six-year term this year. In the race for the Democratic nomination, U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin, D-Holly, is widely considered the likely front-runner, facing Detroit actor Hill Harper and Dearborn businessman Nasser Beydoun.
