MI-13: Rashida Tlaib likely to face primary challenger in 2020

[RandySF]

Less than a year before the Aug. 4, 2020, Democratic primary, no one has stepped forward to start raising money and meeting voters, though Tlaib is doing both.

Wild isn't expected to run again. Former state Sen Coleman A. Young II of Detroit, who ran for the open seat won by Tlaib last year, says he’s not running. Neither is former state Sen. Ian Conyers, whose great uncle — John Conyers — held the seat for decades before retiring in 2017.

Other prominent possible candidates — Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napoleon and former Detroit City Council member Sharon McPhail among them — appear, for now, out of the running. No other contenders have publicly stepped up.

And while Jones is said to be weighing another run, if she launches one, it will likely be without the institutional support she had last year, when Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan and others supported her.

But there is still plenty of time to launch a run — and a challenge, from someone, is almost guaranteed.

1. Gawd I hope so

She demonstrated her bigotry against whites by saying they shouldn't be hired as facial recognition analysts.

Bet she'd be mad as hell if someone had said the reverse, that Blacks or Latinos shouldn't work as facial recognition analysts in White or Asian areas.
