Former Detroit Police Chief James Craig, a Republican, announced on July 21 that he plans to run for Michigan’s governorship, noting that he has formed a gubernatorial “exploratory committee” to allow him to begin raising and spending funds.

On Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Craig reiterated his plan to form an “exploratory committee,” but also said in his interview, “I’m running,” and later, “We’re going to take the state back.”
