New Facts: McKinney outraises Thanedar after crypto losses

On February 2, 2026, U.S. Representative Shri Thanedar faced challenges in his fundraising efforts for the Michigan 13th District primary due to significant losses in his cryptocurrency investments.

Thanedar, who is in his second term, still has a considerable financial advantage over his primary challenger, state Representative Donavan McKinney.

However, the recent downturn in the crypto market has impacted Thanedar's campaign funds, allowing McKinney to gain traction in the race.

While Thanedar's financial resources remain substantial, the shift in fundraising dynamics could influence voter perceptions and campaign strategies as the primary approaches.

The primary election is set to take place later in 2026, and both candidates will likely continue to adjust their campaigns in response to these developments.
