After redistricting this is a lean-blue seat or at least a very closely contested one. If John Gibbs wins the primary, it will flip Democrat:
In the final days of the primary, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee bought $425,000 in TV ads that ostensibly attacked Gibbs (identifying him as "too conservative for West Michigan" and linking him to Trump) but were in fact designed to boost Gibbs' standing among pro-Trump Republican primary voters. The strategy—controversial within the Democratic Party—was based on the idea that Gibbs would be the weaker opponent in the general election, giving the Democrats an opportunity to win the 3rd district seat,[21][22][23] which following the 2020 redistricting cycle had shifted from a Republican-leaning seat to a much more Democratic-leaning seat.[23]
It's better to have a softie like Peter Meijer who will vote with Republicans most of the time, than a Democrat who will vote with Republicans 0% of the time.
