Long-shot Republican 2024 presidential candidate Perry Johnson is being pushed to instead run for Senate in Michigan.
Johnson appears to be the lowest-polling Republican currently running, failing to register on most polls. However, he has persistently pursued the presidency, using innovative fundraising tactics to get the 40,000 individual donors needed to qualify for the first Republican debate. He was still barred due to his poll numbers, leading him to file a complaint with the Federal Election Commission.
"As you can imagine, I get inundated with calls because of the fact that Michigan has an open seat," he continued."It’s literally a seat that Republicans have not had in Michigan in a long time." If he were to run, he would compete in the Republican primary against former Rep. Mike Rogers , who served as House Intelligence Committee chairman for four years. He launched his campaign earlier this month. The Democratic front-runner is Rep. Elissa Slotkin .However, Johnson isn't quite done with his presidential ambitions just yet. Though he acknowledges it's a tough road, he has one last Hail Mary strategy to be elevated to the national stage.
"Right now, I think the plan is to go all in, in an individual state," he explained."If you’re not on the debate stage, that has to be the approach you take. ... The issue is to get to 4% nationally."
