In his bid to retake the White House, few states hold as much promise forĀ Donald TrumpĀ as Michigan.
The former president has already won the state once and PresidentĀ Joe Biden, who reclaimed it for Democrats in 2020, isĀ confronting vulnerabilitiesĀ there as he seeks reelection. Trumpās campaign promises an aggressive play for Michigan as part of a robust swing-state strategy.
But, at least for now, those promises appear to be mostly talk. The Trump campaign and its partners at the Republican National Committee havenāt yet made significant general election investments in the state, according to Michigan Republican Party Chairman Pete Hoekstra. The national committee, he said, hasnāt transferred any money to the state party to help bolster its operations heading into the general election. There are no specific programs in place to court voters of color. And thereās no general election field staff in place.
I can only hope. Iām rather nervous about the election. Since his entire voter base in a cult. And the other side has their eyes on whatās going on in Gaza.
Me too, Biden has to fix shit in Israel real quick (doubt) or start actually telling Israel to fuck off to start reducing liberal dissidents.
