Related: About this forumGOP ads target Elissa Slotkin over Impeachment Inquiry
Of course this is why Nancy Pelosi was being extra cautious in pursuing impeachment. She knew that the GOP would try to use this to win back some swing seats.
Hopefully in this heavily gerrymandered district in Mid-Michigan voters see through this. I think and hope that the turnout will be such that Elissa Slotkin will carry it anyways.

has to put up with. Even when she said that Trump admitted to it, the yobs were shouting "fake news" back at her. It's hard to deal with stupid.

Sensing that independent voters arent in love with the idea of impeaching President Donald Trump, Republicans nationwide are hopping on Democrats in battleground districts who have come out in support of an impeachment inquiry.
In Michigan, that means Rep. Elissa Slotkin, D-Holly, whose district includes Ingham County, and Rep. Haley Stevens, R-Rochester Hills, are being collared with their support for moving forward on removing Trump from office. The latest drives come after Trumps apparent attempt to hold up foreign aid to Ukraine until the country agreed to investigate potential wrongdoing in their country by Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son Hunter.
In a rare move, the Republican National Committee is working with the Trump reelection campaign to buy $10 million in cable TV and digital buys in 25 to 50 competitive House districts, including Michigans 8th and 11th districts. The National Republican Congressional Committee have stepped up its criticism of both. Itsr central theme is that both caved into D.C. partisan politics instead of being the problem solvers they both ran on.
It also means upped visibility by the Michigan Republican Party and it public criticism of Slotkin and Stevens. On Tuesday, GOP state party chairwoman Laura Cox held press events in front of Slotkins Lansing office and Stevens Livonia office to voice her displeasure...
