when sunny met harry (2) : harry styles imagine
read part one here
summary: harry and y/n break up but they’re not the only ones suffering. their -now her- golden retriever sunny thinks harry’s coming back.

Just like everyday, as soon as she turns the lock, Sunny comes running to the front door, nails ‘clicking’ on the wooden floor as he jumps up and down on the other side of the door. As soon as the door’s unlocked and opened fully, Sunny leaves no time for hellos or any other form of greeting before he’s on her. It’s Friday night which is why there’s a bag for life full to the brim with groceries next to her backpack and Sunny takes it upon himself to sniff around the packaged food as if he’s looking for food.
It’s also the night Harry’s finally coming to see Sunny.
A month has passed since the phone call and it was last week when Harry’s name appeared on her phone, messaging to see if he could visit Sunny soon. Truth be told, she wasn’t ready to see him just yet. She knew she could’ve said no, or told him she would let him know when it would be a good time to visit but one look at Sunny’s way, she had caved in. Or was the look for reassurance only? She had accepted it in a heartbeat because deep down, she knew Sunny wasn’t the only one missing him.
And now there she was, trying to ignore Sunny as he barked relentlessly at the hoover.
When she reaches the corner of the sofa, Sunny comes closer to her and barks directly at Hetty the Hoover as if he’s trying to set some ground rules.
“Sunny, no!” The hoover is now turned off and she tries moving Sunny away from poor Hetty.
“Leave her alone! Sunny, down. Come ‘ere!”
Sunny does come, and she sits his bum down at her feet and stares at Y/N as if she’s going to reward him for being a menace.
“Why are you such a dickhead, huh,” she gives a pat to his fluffy head. “Do you know who’s coming to see you? Wanna wear your nice collar?”
As the pets continue, she feels a sudden pang of sadness at the memory of seeing Harry for the last time in this flat.
She thought about the look on his face; his beautiful eyes all glassy and lips pouty. Dark circles under his eyes and a large box full of his own share of vinyls to accompany his reluctant posture. How alien and hesitant he had looked in the middle of their, now her, living room.
She tries remembering the last conversation they had, last proper conversation before everything happened but Sunny’s heavy panting interrupts her thoughts and she heaves a sigh.
“Do you...” she extends the word deliberately knowing it will hype him up. “...know who’s comin’ to see your squishy mug today?”
This does nothing to hype him up though. Sunny remains seated at her feet, tongue slightly out as he stares at Y/N’s face as if she’s talking nonsense. “Harry’s coming, Sunny.”
At the mention of Harry’s name, Sunny’s goes crazy. He starts jumping up and down -as much as he can with the limited space between him and the sofa- and his tail keeps wagging in sync with his hoarse barking.
Although she too feels giddy about having Harry in the flat again -though she has to repeat the reason why he’s visiting in the first place every five minutes-, she’s also worried that her next door neighbour Mr. Yoni will knock on her door with puckered lips and slit eyes. As soon as she opens the door, Mr. Yoni will sigh and Y/N will start apologising, trying to bribe him with a cuppa and Tesco’s bourbon biscuits she knows he likes.
As she writes and plays the scenario in her head, she also keeps tidying up the living room, fixing up the pillows, collecting empty mugs and some pens scattered around. When she starts doing the washing up, she hears Sunny chewing the bone Harry’s gotten him and can’t help but roll her eyes at how sentimental she’s being. Exes and a dog.
So what, she thinks, are we going to co parent a bloody dog now? Saying yes to him visiting was a weakness on her part. She knew it was. She’s also not expecting them to get back together just because Harry’s coming to see Sunny. No. She has to get her shit together.
Harry’s charming. Interesting. Lovable and endearing. From the first night she’s laid her eyes on him; in his stupid corduroy trousers and a fuzzy striped cardigan, she knew she couldn’t forget him after that night. She was totally mesmerised by him. By his face. Yes, he was handsome- he is handsome. But he was also beautiful. Pretty. He had soft features, delicate... but there was also a sharpness to him, could cut you with his affection as soon as your eyes met across the room. His love could kill you. He could’ve told you the earth was flat and you would think ‘well, this kid is onto something’. It was his charm and the general aura to him that held you back from questioning him and his actions.
When they first met, he had just gotten out of a relationship. She knew because they ran in the same circles. She knew of him. They’ve been to the same birthday parties and even one or two weddings. Despite that, they had never spoken to each other before that night. So when they shook hands at a close friend’s birthday party that night, his hand still damp from the beer bottle he was holding, she knew she had to get closer to him, she wanted to be the reason behind that dimple appearing and the crinkle by his eyes when he smiled, his two larger front teeth peeking between his parted lips.
Though, much to her dismay, they didn’t hit it off like it happened in the movies. Theirs was a civil introduction. Nice… friendly. She couldn’t say much and the conversation died quickly as he was swept away from her by his friends. She had later learned that he found her annoying at first. In his words, she looked like she was better than anyone in that room. In her defence, it was because she was mesmerised by him and well, she wasn’t exactly the social butterfly Harry seemed to be. They always laughed it off though, with drunken smiles and chuckles between wet, sloppy kisses. It took them six months of friendship until she had enough and asked him out. One day while sipping margaritas in her garden, she had had enough and called him out. ‘Bloody hell you’re stubborn as fuck’ she said, ‘you’ve been looking at my arse all day and I’m pretty sure you’ve been eyeing my lips since like last month. So either come kiss me or just… keep it in your pants’. And then there he was, making a move.
Seven months into their relationship, Sunny became a member of their- well mostly Y/N’s family. They were happy. Sometimes too happy that it kept her up at night, wondering if the universe was plotting something against them soon. Turns out it wasn’t. They were just Harry and Y/N. Too comfortable with each other. Too in love. Too happy. Until the bickering had begun. At first it was mostly because Y/N kept putting his clothes in the wash before they got ‘really dirty’. Or how Harry kept making a mess in the shower, never cleaning up after himself, leaving his hairy razor on the counter. And it didn’t help when he started spending most of his free time in Los Angeles while she worked in London. It wasn’t only his fault. She had also stopped making time for regular phone calls as he kept them no longer than ten minutes and it went from long, meaningful chats to Harry talking more about his friends and their adventures than himself. In return, Y/N more or less, and perhaps without realising, started cutting their conversations short and vague because ‘I think the chicken’s ready, I’ll ring later’ or ‘Sunny’s chewing my shoes again, gotta go’.
When he came back from LA, everything started going downhill as if they weren’t bad enough before. Y/N started feeling uneasy in his presence; feeling self-conscious, mostly when they ate, when he came to have a wee while she showered or when they had sex. It also didn’t help how they always had people around. They didn’t get much free time to themselves. It was always Harry and Y/N… and the others. So it was a gradual thing, the fall of their relationship. And when they officially ended things, he not only left her heart in pieces but also another, much tinier heart was more or less broken. Sunny’s.
She puts those thoughts away and focuses on the washing up in front of her, snorting at how she’s been rinsing the same mug since God knows when despite it looking squeaky clean. Taking off one of the gloves, she touches the screen of his phone and her eyes widen at the time. Harry would be here any minute and she didn’t even have the heart to change into something more comfortable.
She decides on a cup of tea and spots the opened package of cheese twists and perches on the sofa. TV’s on, filling the flat with Alan Carr’s distinct voice as Sunny comes up and places his head on Y/N’s leg, looking as precious as ever.
“God forbid I eat anything by myself. You silly boy,” She breaks one of the cheese sticks in half and throws it next to his paws. “There you go.” As soon as the stick hits the floor, it’s gone in seconds as Sunny tries to lick the remnants of the cheese stick off of his face and the wooden floor.
Two more cheese sticks later, she gets a text from Harry letting her know that he’s here, at the door.
As she makes her way towards the front door, Sunny follows behind. Her heart starts beating faster and she feels her cheeks heat up, having an epiphany that Harry’s here, on the other side of the door. Sunny barks once as her hand reaches the door handle as if he knows who’s here. As soon as the door opens, their eyes meet and it’s like someone’s pouring hot water down her head. Harry opens his mouth but he gets interrupted when Sunny spots him.
Y/N watches as the two go crazy for each other, Sunny jumping up and down, trying to get his paws on every part of Harry’s body as Harry tries crouching down to pet him.
“Dear God you’ve gotten huge! Sunny! Bloody hell- ouch- stop biting m’ankles!”
“Come inside, he’s inviting you in,” she mutters and immediately regrets that stupid remark. As if it’s Harry’s first time meeting Sunny.
He looks up again and gives her a smile. “Are you inviting me in?” He says, tone as playful as ever. He glances down at Sunny again before she catches his eyes.
“Come in before he has a heart attack trying to get all your attention.”
“Always been an attention seeker, am I right Sunny boy?”
After he takes his shoes off, they make their way inside, careful not to trip and fall since Sunny’s still trying to catch Harry by his ankles. She sits on the far end of the sofa as Harry crouches down to give Sunny a proper cuddle.
The dog looks like he’s having the time of his life as Harry scratches his head, massages behind his ears and gives him gentle pats on his furry bum and Y/N tries hard not to cringe at the dog hair swirling in the air. He looks mesmerised by Harry and Y/N can’t blame him. When Sunny sneaks in a couple of licks, they both laugh as Harry wipes the sticky saliva with the arm of his thick jumper.
“Alright, alright, chill.” He gets up despite Sunny’s whines and his attention is now on Y/N.
“Hi,” she can’t help but give him a little wave from the sofa.
“Alright?”
“Mhm. Want a cuppa?”
“Would kill for one actually,” he grins impishly and Y/N’s already on her feet, walking towards the kitchen.
When she glances back, Harry’s following and just like before, Sunny’s following close behind as if he’s being pulled by an invisible string. Clingy dog. She wonders if he’s feeling the things she’s too afraid to feel ever since Harry’s stepped into her flat.
They wait for the kettle in a slightly awkward silence as she takes the time to get used to his presence in her home again. It’s bittersweet, having him in the kitchen. Like when he used to wake up in the mornings and make a mess which he referrer as making breakfast. If it weren’t for the sound the kettle was making, she swears she could still hear the clatter of cutlery and Harry swearing loudly whenever he dropped something on the floor.
“Thanks for, you know, thanks for this.”
“Don’t worry about it, Harry. He’ll probably go ballistic as soon as you leave but I know you were missing him so… yeah.”
He gives her a sad smile and looks down at the dog who’s laying at his feet.
“Does he bark... always? Like, how bad does it get?”
“Well,” she puts the teabags in the mugs. “He sits in front of the door and barks non-stop as soon as I’m home. He usually tires himself out by the time I’m out of the shower but it’s been worse lately.”
As she pours the water, Harry glances at the fridge and a snort leaves her mouth at how reluctant he looks.
“Wha’?”
“I know you wanted to get the milk out. Just- don’t make this awkward. You can open the fridge without my permission.”
He gives her a pout and she has to turn her back to him and fiddle with the spoons for an unnecessary amount of time so that she doesn’t reach out and pinch his lips.
“I didn’t want to act like I own the place,” he mutters, milk in hand and Sunny all perked up at the sound of the fridge.
“Don’t worry about it. Honestly.”
The milk is back in the fridge, teabags stored back in the cupboard, kitchen light is turned off and they find themselves on the opposite sides of the sofa. Y/N sits cross legged on the spacious sofa while Harry’s looking oh so formal, one hand holding his tea and the other scratching Sunny’s fluffy neck who’s still not letting him out of his sight.
“You comfy there?”
Harry looks up, startled, and chuckles. “Erm, yeah. Why?”
“Dunno, you just look like you’re ready to run as soon as your tea’s finished.”
She knows she’s not subtle, judging his every move ever since he laid foot in the house. It’s not like she wants him to feel uncomfortable or guilty. It’s the opposite really; she doesn’t want to see him look so uncomfortable and on edge. It’s selfish really because it’s only been months after their breakup. Of course they both felt uncomfortable and awkward. And when he looks like his one foot is out of the door, Y/N feels horrible. She feels like it’s her own fault that he’s not feeling welcome.
“I just- I don’t know the limits? Like…” he places his tea on a coaster and clears his throat. “Like how comfortable should I get? Or- should we get? Am I allowed to sit all relaxed on the sofa…”
“Look, I get it. I’m sorry. I’m acting like a kid,” she takes a sip from her tea.
“Maybe- maybe I shouldn’t have suggested it this soon?” Harry more or less whispers, as if he’s walking on thin ice and he is. They both know it.
And well. Is he wrong? Were they stupid? Was she stupid, having his ex over for the sake of a bloody dog? Who was she kidding? She selfishly wanted to be in his presence again and she used both Harry and Sunny.
The awkward silence now increases as she tries to find something to say.
She wishes she was Sunny. Not because he’s still at Harry’s feet, head laid upon his socked feet but because he’s probably clueless to what’s been going on.
“Y/N?”
When she looks up, Harry’s still looking at her. His eyes are full of concern and she hates how familiar it looks.
“Yeah?”
“I’m really sorry. I don’t feel unwelcome at all. I know that’s what you’re thinking,” he gives her a tiny smile and her eyes fall to his dimple.
“You’re right though. I think we both acted without thinking. I mean, it’s kind of my fault anyway. Calling you like that-”
“No-”
She shakes her head feverishly. “Yes. Ringing my ex as if Sunny’s a baby and he won’t fall asleep until his daddy wishes him good night.”
It’s dead silent until a snort comes out of Harry’s mouth and Y/N raises her eyebrows.
“Well he kinda is a baby, in’ he?” He reaches and pats Sunny in the head, making him perk up at the attention being given to him again. “And I am the daddy so…”
When he looks up though, Y/N’s watching him with an unimpressed look on her face.
“Too soon?”
“Not surprised at your inability to read the mood. Always cheeky. You done seducing that tea?”
When she stands up, Sunny does too. He knows she’s making her way to the kitchen with her tea in hand so he would normally follow close behind, thinking she’s going to fetch him more snacks.
He laughs at that though. He does because they get each other’s weird sense of humour.
“Nah I’m trying to see if I can finish it.”
“I won’t even take offence at that. I know I make a mean cuppa so, suit yourself.”
She tries passing him but he stops her.
“Come on, please sit down. I won’t get mad if you do the washing up after I leave,” he gives her a smile and surprisingly, it’s enough to make her sit down.
He waits for her to speak but it never comes. They sit in silence while Harry pets Sunny aimlessly.
“Can we- can I continue what I was saying before?”
“What? About you being a daddy?”
He snorts at that, the same hand that was petting Sunny now coming up to his head, fingers running through his hair so effortlessly. She watches as the hairs glide smoothly between his long, ring cladded fingers.
“No,” he rolls his eyes but a there’s a hint of smile there somewhere.
When their eyes meet, she smiles at him, properly smiles at him for the first time that night. When he returns it with his own dimpled smile, she almost forgets. She forgets why he came and for a second, it feels like they’re back in time. Back to when they spent most of their nights in front of the TV. Sunny curled up and snoring by the sofa while Y/N played with Harry’s hair, their legs tangled and his back against her chest. It takes her a minute to understand why Harry looks so confused.
“Sorry, I’m just really tired,” she murmurs.
“’s okay. I’m kinda glad you didn’t hear what I so bravely confessed there,” he chuckles at the ground and the sound makes Sunny lay his head against his legs, asking for more pets.
Despite his vagueness, she smiles at his boyish charm. “What was it?”
“Nah, not tellin’ you now,” he smirks, never once looking up from his petting session with Sunny.
A sigh leaves her mouth and that’s when he looks her way.
Were they flirting? Could exes flirt? Should they flirt?
And wait, did he get a new ring?
“Was it about my poor taste in cushions again?” She smirks, trying to sound as nonchalant as she can.
“Well-”
He tries getting comfortable on the sofa, leaning back and crossing his legs but Sunny starts barking as if to complain about Harry’s divided attention. He reaches down and gives him a pet but never once takes his eyes off of her.
It’s quiet after that. None of them speak. They lose the eye contact as soon as Sunny abruptly gets up from his laying position and walks to his water bowl, both of them watching him leave.
“He’ll bite my ear off as soon as you leave tonight,” Y/N mumbles, trying to pass it off as a joke but Harry doesn’t smile.
Instead, he sighs and scratches his knee. “I actually saw Sunny the week you called me… your brother was walking him near Gemma’s house and- well, yeah.”
At the news, she feels an anger bubble up inside her. Not towards Harry -maybe a little- but towards her brother. Since her brother’s not here, she’s going to take it out on Harry.
“Why didn’t you tell me when I rang? You- I, oh God. I’m such a fucking idiot. You came here out of pity and not because you missed Sunny, right?” She keeps going as if someone’s been timing her. “You probably laughed after right? At how pathetic I was? You should’ve told me!”
“Well, I didn’t! It’s not a big deal-” he tries again but she cuts him off and he’s slightly taken back by her widened eyes.
“Not a big deal? You came here because you pitied me! Well fuck, I know it’s pitiful but you shouldn’t-”
“I wasn’t missing the bloody dog, I only saw him that week! I used him to see you!”
She freezes, trying to process his words but as always, Sunny steals the show.
This time, he’s choking on his water.

A security guard at a Michigan dollar store was fatally shot Friday and police are looking into whether an argument with a customer who refused to wear a mask triggered the violence, according to reports.
The victim, identified by family members to news station WSMH as Calvin Munerlyn, was shot in the head while working at the Family Dollar Flint.
Police have not yet released a motive, but a number of people claimed Munerlyn was gunned down after confronting a customer for violating store policy by not wearing a mask, according to the Detroit News.

FLIPSIDE PLOT IDEAS [cleaning out drafts]
lqdsmth
Avis is able to "unmake" Euphorbia. Euphorbia is coming apart/fading, insists she is real and as "living" as the others. She transforms and while Avis is glad at first because it is what she wanted, Euphorbia is able to shake her control and intimidate Avis. This could be after Crescence dies (spoiler ig??)
Taking advantage of this to write thoughts on Crescence's death- she sacrifices herself protecting Euphorbia, Avis kills her. Crescence tells Avis a part of her still loved them, Avis seems to soften for a moment but is overcome with joy. Avis had died and revived previous to this- this is why they have a ghost form. They know Crescence will also suffer the traumatizing revival process. Avis does not tell the others this, they think Crescence is dead forever so they cannot do anything to try to rescue her from the Inbetween (name in progress??)
wsmh/ap
Early on in Avis and Crescence's romance, Avis discovers Crescence's Giant abilities and the ambitious part of her that wants to fight against some kind of oppressor which makes her want to destroy the world with the Giants' powers while she struggles with her love for Crescence. Crescence struggles to recognize Avis in their bloodthirstiness. This makes Crescence drift apart from them. This is extremely early on in the story, if anything some background before it begins.

An Attack Ad That Claims Michigan Sen. Gary Peters Supports ‘Medicare For All’ Doesn’t Hold Up
Better Future Michigan says Gary Peters “supports ‘Medicare for All,’ siding with radical liberals.”
— A television ad that began airing in mid-December
This story was produced in partnership with PolitiFact.
This story can be republished for free (details).
Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.), who is running for a second term as Michigan’s junior senator, is the subject of an attack ad that takes issue with his position on “Medicare for All.”
The ad claims that “Peters supports Medicare for All, siding with radical liberals.” But Peters’ legislative record and public statements suggest otherwise. One Michigan advocate for this single-payer approach even said Peters has never been a part of their cause.
The ad aired on TV stations across the state starting Dec. 12 and was funded by Better Future Michigan. Initially, the commercial was pulled from some airways after being challenged by the Peters’ campaign for “being objectively and unquestionably false.” Better Future Michigan updated and re-released the ad Dec. 16, saying Peters “supported” rather than “endorsed” Medicare for All, and ran it through Dec. 20.
The commercial drew our interest — not only because of the questions it triggered about Peters’ position on health reform, but also because it highlights how the debate over Medicare for All could play out in races ranging from the presidential campaign to House and Senate contests.

A Matter Of ‘He Said, She Said’
We started out by checking with Better Future Michigan, a 501(c)(4) nonprofit group, to find out the basis for the ad. (Under IRS rules, 501 (c)(4) groups do not have to disclose their donors.)
Tori Sachs, its executive director, pointed to two videos from a 2018 town hall meeting, featuring an exchange between Peters and a voter who supports the single-payer approach to health reform. Peters responded by saying he wants to protect the Affordable Care Act from Republicans and introduce a public option in the insurance exchange.
But Peters also said: “The path forward is where you’re going to have Medicare for All down the road. That’s probably where we’re going to go. But we’ve got to deal with the problem we have right now.”
This statement, according to Sachs, is central to Better Future Michigan’s position.
“If Peters is (or was) so staunchly against Medicare for All, why did he acknowledge that it’s the future?” she wrote in an email. “Someone opposed to an issue or policy would at minimum qualify such a statement, but instead, Peters’ surrounding discussion with the town hall participant shows otherwise.” (Sachs managed John James’ failed 2018 challenge to unseat Michigan’s senior Democratic senator, Debbie Stabenow. James is now running against Peters.)
An April 2019 press release from the National Republican Senatorial Committee advanced a similar argument, saying Peters is “playing both sides” of the Medicare for All debate.
The Peters campaign pushed back.
“This dark money group with close ties to John James is pushing objectively false claims in their attack ads in a desperate attempt to lie to Michigan voters. Senator Peters’ position has been clear and consistent that he supports strengthening the Affordable Care Act and expanding access to health insurance through common sense policies like adding a public option and letting people 50 and older buy into Medicare but does not support Medicare for All or eliminating private health insurance,” said Dan Farough, Peters’ campaign manager, in an email.
The campaign also provided several articles in which the senator shied away from supporting Medicare for All.
In an August 2019 interview with Politico, when asked if Medicare for All proponents could win his state, Peters said they would “have to show and be able to explain exactly how that would help folks here in Michigan,” and “I think people do want to have the opportunity to keep private insurance.” His position appeared consistent in other press reports, too, ranging from Michigan TV interviews to a CNN article.

Peters generally voiced his support for shoring up the Affordable Care Act, offering a public option on the insurance marketplace and lowering the eligibility age for Medicare. In 2019, he co-sponsored a bill that would allow anyone over 50 to buy into Medicare and another bill that would establish a public health plan option on the insurance exchange.
Peters has not co-sponsored Sanders’ Medicare for All legislation.
Eli Rubin, president of the advocacy group Michigan for Single Payer Healthcare, said that Peters “definitely does not support Medicare for All,” but that he also doesn’t like to take a position or directly answer questions about it.
“We’ve had many encounters with him and asked him about it, and he won’t say, ‘No, out of the question,’ but he dodges the question every time,” said Rubin. “He turns the conversation every time to where he talks about his defense of the Affordable Care Act.”
Marianne Udow-Phillips, the director of the nonpartisan Center for Health and Research Transformation at the University of Michigan, offered another take. “What he is trying to do is not foreclose strategies, but to essentially say that is not his area of focus on health care right now,” she said.
“Michigan is like the rest of the country,” said Udow-Phillips. “People are primarily concerned with the cost of health care and pocketbook issues. They’re worried about deductibles and copays. They’re worried about surprise bills. I don’t think on a statewide basis Medicare for All is a motivating issue or speaks to people in a broad way.”
Still, pollsters and policy experts point out that for some voters in the progressive wing of the Democratic Party support for Medicare for All can become a litmus test.
Why There’s Such A Fuss
With the 2020 election fast approaching, there’s a sense among some Democrats in Michigan and other battleground states that supporting progressive issues like Medicare for All could translate into political baggage on the campaign trail.
“Independents and swing voters are more negative against Medicare for All,” said Robert Blendon of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, who is an expert on public opinion of social policy.
For instance, 65% of swing voters in Michigan said a national Medicare for All plan that would eliminate private health insurance is a bad idea, according to a November 2019 Kaiser Family Foundation poll. (Kaiser Health News is an editorially independent program of the foundation.)
The issue can also be weaponized against Democratic candidates.
Colleen Grogan, a professor at the University of Chicago’s School of Social Service Administration, pointed out that it is a common GOP strategy to associate Medicare for All with socialized medicine. It can also be used to play on the public’s lack of confidence in government-run social programs, she added.
“The whole idea is that the government is such a demon in the U.S.,” said Grogan. “It’s easy for Republicans to demonize the government … and say, ‘You don’t want them [the government] running your health care program.’”
Another benefit of this attack method, which could be used frequently in the run-up to November, according to Blendon, is that it doesn’t require the GOP to offer a policy alternative and instead focuses on how Medicare for All would eliminate private insurance.
“From the Republican point of view, it doesn’t require you to take a stand on what you’ll do for health care,” he said. “But it does allow you to say, you won’t have any choice in your health care.”
Our Ruling
A TV ad by Better Future Michigan claimed that Peters “supports Medicare for All, siding with radical liberals.”
The statement is based on two videos from a 2018 town hall meeting. Though the senator does not tell a Medicare for All supporter that he backs this approach, he agreed that it could be a “pathway” in the future.
But from this comment to the ad’s overall assertion is a big stretch.
Specifically, Peters is on the record as supporting efforts to protect the Affordable Care Act from Republican changes, offering a public option and lowering the eligibility age for Medicare. He also supports keeping private insurance. In addition, he is not a co-sponsor of Sanders’ Medicare for All legislation, and single-payer advocates within Michigan said he “definitely” does not support this approach.
For these reasons, we rate the claim False.

An Attack Ad That Claims Michigan Sen. Gary Peters Supports ‘Medicare For All’ Doesn’t Hold Up
Better Future Michigan says Gary Peters “supports ‘Medicare for All,’ siding with radical liberals.”
— A television ad that began airing in mid-December
This story was produced in partnership with PolitiFact.
This story can be republished for free (details).
Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.), who is running for a second term as Michigan’s junior senator, is the subject of an attack ad that takes issue with his position on “Medicare for All.”
The ad claims that “Peters supports Medicare for All, siding with radical liberals.” But Peters’ legislative record and public statements suggest otherwise. One Michigan advocate for this single-payer approach even said Peters has never been a part of their cause.
The ad aired on TV stations across the state starting Dec. 12 and was funded by Better Future Michigan. Initially, the commercial was pulled from some airways after being challenged by the Peters’ campaign for “being objectively and unquestionably false.” Better Future Michigan updated and re-released the ad Dec. 16, saying Peters “supported” rather than “endorsed” Medicare for All, and ran it through Dec. 20.
The commercial drew our interest — not only because of the questions it triggered about Peters’ position on health reform, but also because it highlights how the debate over Medicare for All could play out in races ranging from the presidential campaign to House and Senate contests.

A Matter Of ‘He Said, She Said’
We started out by checking with Better Future Michigan, a 501(c)(4) nonprofit group, to find out the basis for the ad. (Under IRS rules, 501 (c)(4) groups do not have to disclose their donors.)
Tori Sachs, its executive director, pointed to two videos from a 2018 town hall meeting, featuring an exchange between Peters and a voter who supports the single-payer approach to health reform. Peters responded by saying he wants to protect the Affordable Care Act from Republicans and introduce a public option in the insurance exchange.
But Peters also said: “The path forward is where you’re going to have Medicare for All down the road. That’s probably where we’re going to go. But we’ve got to deal with the problem we have right now.”
This statement, according to Sachs, is central to Better Future Michigan’s position.
“If Peters is (or was) so staunchly against Medicare for All, why did he acknowledge that it’s the future?” she wrote in an email. “Someone opposed to an issue or policy would at minimum qualify such a statement, but instead, Peters’ surrounding discussion with the town hall participant shows otherwise.” (Sachs managed John James’ failed 2018 challenge to unseat Michigan’s senior Democratic senator, Debbie Stabenow. James is now running against Peters.)
An April 2019 press release from the National Republican Senatorial Committee advanced a similar argument, saying Peters is “playing both sides” of the Medicare for All debate.
The Peters campaign pushed back.
“This dark money group with close ties to John James is pushing objectively false claims in their attack ads in a desperate attempt to lie to Michigan voters. Senator Peters’ position has been clear and consistent that he supports strengthening the Affordable Care Act and expanding access to health insurance through common sense policies like adding a public option and letting people 50 and older buy into Medicare but does not support Medicare for All or eliminating private health insurance,” said Dan Farough, Peters’ campaign manager, in an email.
The campaign also provided several articles in which the senator shied away from supporting Medicare for All.
In an August 2019 interview with Politico, when asked if Medicare for All proponents could win his state, Peters said they would “have to show and be able to explain exactly how that would help folks here in Michigan,” and “I think people do want to have the opportunity to keep private insurance.” His position appeared consistent in other press reports, too, ranging from Michigan TV interviews to a CNN article.
