Democratic congressional candidate Curtis Hertel Jr. from Michigan's 7th District avoided revealing his stance on supporting President Biden, shifting the conversation to ice cream instead. This move reflects a broader lack of clarity and confidence among Michigan Democrats regarding their alignment with Biden. Notably, Hertel's refusal to explicitly state his position on Biden comes amidst a growing divide between the President and down-ballot candidates in Michigan. Several Democrats, including Hertel, Elissa Slotkin, and Hillary Scholten, seem to be distancing themselves from Biden, with concerns raised about Biden's campaign and support dwindling among Michigan Democrats. Despite efforts to frame his response as bipartisan, Hertel's evasiveness hints at the challenges faced by Democrats in navigating their ties to the current administration.
