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.
If Project 2025 comes to pass and they have sweeping powers theyāll find a way to siphon federal money into the RNC
It wonāt be hard when all oversight is gutted or populated with members of Trumpās Mafia. Once they have enough control they can ensure they always win future elections. Sort of like Putin does.
