“James’ actions show me he will not be an independent voice in Washington”
Michiganders from Holland to Warren are calling out John James’ “2,000%” support for Trump as he prioritizes allying himself with the President over Michiganders. James has stood by the President as he works to take away Michiganders’ health care amid the pandemic, and has refused to criticize Trump or break with him even as his botched pandemic response has hurt our state.
James continues to demonstrate that he would not be an independent voice for Michigan.

Holland Sentinel: Richard Burn: John James won’t protect Michiganders healthcare
“John James has made it clear that he will always stand with Trump and never for Michiganders. James has said he is “solidly” for Trump. James has made it clear he will never stand up to Trump, even when Trump is trying to take away healthcare for Americans with pre-existing conditions in the middle of a pandemic. Clearly, James will be another rubber stamp falling in line behind Trump. … Michigan can’t afford to elect someone like John James who will stand by as Trump rips that coverage away. It would be a disaster.”
Macomb Daily: Kristina Lodovisi: James is no Michael Taylor
“Not all Republicans are as admirable as Taylor, primarily Republican candidate John James. James’ silence is a huge disappointment as is his participation in Pence’s photo op. Macomb has almost 7,000 cases of COVID-19, over 860 deaths. James has not called out Trump for his disastrous pandemic response, instead joins Mike Pence for lunch in a packed restaurant, all while neither wears a mask. James’ actions show me he will not be an independent voice in Washington, James is running to serve Trump not Michigan.”
Macomb Daily: Wayne Conner II: Why is John James silent?
“I am disgusted by the actions taken by President Trump this week. If James believes he deserves the honor of serving Michiganders in the Senate, why is he remaining silent? We deserve a leader who will speak up at all moments of injustice.”
