US President Donald Trump is considering Michigan businessman John James, who lost a November election to Senator Debbie Stabenow, to replace United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, The Detroit News reported on Monday.
James, a Republican from Farmington Hills, tried to unseat Stabenow, a Lansing Democrat, in a traditional Democratic presidential state that helped Trump win the presidency in 2016. He lost to the incumbent senator 46 to 52 percent, making it a closer race than polls initially suggested.
