Detroit mayor Mike Duggan says now he will run for governor of Michigan in 2026 as an independent. If he does, he will basically hand the governorship over to the Republican. The US has the two party system. When someone runs as a third party candidate, they siphon votes from the person of one of the two parties who has a similar political ideology. Like the elections of 1912, 1992 and 1996. He should run as a Democrat or just stay out of the race.
