LAWTON, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – After President Trump endorsed one of his chief rivals, Senator Aric Nesbitt has suspended his campaign for governor in Michigan.
In an email to supporters Monday, Nesbitt he is throwing his support behind Congressman John James, who received the backing of Trump.
Nesbitt called James “the best candidate to defeat the Whitmer-Benson agenda of higher taxes, higher prices, woke policies, and incompetent leadership. A divided primary only helps Democrats. It’s time to unite.”
“I’m asking every one of you who supported this campaign to stand with me behind John James, roll up our sleeves, and deliver a Republican victory in November.”
Nesbitt, who is the Republican leader in the Michigan Senate, had been trailing badly in recent polling behind James, former Attorney General Mike Cox and businessman Perry Johnson.
The primary election is August 4, 2026.
