Last week, I reported that there will be a new entrant in the Michigan battle royale for the Senate seat soon to be vacated by Sen. Debbie Stabenow: The Good Doctor actor Hill Harper, who will not be backing down against the seemingly indomitable Rep. Elissa Slotkin.

Stabenow, after all, has been trying to play cruise director of the state party. She suggested that Jocelyn Benson, another fearsome competitor, run for governor.
