AP Race Call: Donald Trump wins Michigan
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Former President Donald Trump won Michigan on Wednesday, reclaiming the battleground state and its 15 electoral votes for the Republicans after Joe Biden flipped it in 2020 on his way to the White House. Trump won Michigan in 2016 by just over 10,000 votes, marking the first time a Republican presidential candidate had secured the state in nearly three decades. Trumps Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, faced concerns that discontent among Democrats in metro Detroit over the Biden administrations handling of the Israel-Hamas war could jeopardize her campaign. The Associated Press declared Trump the winner at 12:54 p.m. EST.

I'm amazed at the blinders people put on. I shouldn't be, but I am.
Sawant should have stayed the fuck in her lane. I literally hate her.

(28,681 posts)I think that needs to be factored in, too. And they also probably got Trump some votes. The Democratic Senate candidate won the statewide race.

She was saved, thank goodness, by the fact that the Libertarian and US Taxpayer parties siphoned off 96 thousand conservative votes.
