Hill Harper Takes on Slotkin in Michigan Senate Primary

Actor Hill Harper, known for his role on "The Good Doctor," is preparing to launch his campaign for the Michigan Senate primary as a Democrat. Harper, who has never run for office before, is expected to run to the left of Elissa Slotkin, a moderate Democratic House member. His allies believe he can build a coalition of progressive and Black voters, citing his experience serving on President Obama's cancer panel and his connections to potential donors in Hollywood. However, Harper will face an uphill battle against Slotkin, who has strong support from the Democratic Party and a significant campaign war chest.
