Sen. Gary Peters of Michigan is the new chair of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, in charge of trying to expand his party’s majority in the 2022 election cycle. James, a Black businessman and veteran, consistently outraised Peters and ran roughly a point ahead of Donald Trump’s losing margin to Joe Biden. “I can also say that my class speaks with one voice.”Peters keeps a very low profile nationally, and even within Michigan. The National Republican Senatorial Committee put out a statement mocking Peters’ low profile and deliberately using the wrong name for the senator. “We are thrilled that Senator Peters was chosen for this position,” NRSC spokesman Chris Hartline said in a statement.
