Exclusive: Democrat Primary Opponent of Elissa Slotkin Alleges Ties to Chinese-Linked Company
The race for Michigan’s open Senate seat is heating up, with Democrat Elissa Slotkin facing criticism from her primary opponent, actor Hill Harper, over alleged ties to a Chinese-linked company. Harper has accused Slotkin of signing a nondisclosure agreement with Gotion, a Chinese-affiliated electric vehicle battery maker, raising concerns about national security.
Despite Slotkin’s campaign dismissing the allegation as debunked, her opponents on both sides of the aisle see this as a political vulnerability in a crucial Senate race. The seat, vacated by retiring Sen. Debbie Stabenow, is a key battleground in the upcoming election.
Harper’s criticism of Slotkin’s alleged ties to Gotion and his promise never to sign an NDA with a Chinese-backed company have sparked controversy and drawn attention to the race. The issue has become a focal point in the Democratic primary, with tensions running high between the candidates.
As the primary election approaches on August 6, all eyes are on Slotkin and her opponents. Former Rep. Mike Rogers, a Republican endorsed by former President Donald Trump, is also in the running, setting the stage for a fiercely competitive general election.
With accusations of pandering and performative politics also coming to light, the race for Michigan’s Senate seat is shaping up to be a contentious and closely-watched contest. Stay tuned for updates as the candidates make their case to voters and vie for their support in this critical election.
