Trump Backs Dixon in the Michigan GOP Primary!

Former President Donald Trump on Friday made an eleventh-hour endorsement in the Michigan governor’s race, backing conservative commentator Tudor Dixon.

Dixon is competing against four other Republicans on Tuesday for the chance to run against Democrat Gretchen Whitmer as governor. The race for governor is expected to be one of the closest ones of the cycle.

Kevin Rinke, a businessman and first-time candidate who has put a lot of money into the race, is likely Dixon’s biggest rival for the nomination. But since the signature scandal, the state’s Republican power centres have gathered around Dixon.

She has gotten support from the state Chamber of Commerce, the group Michigan Right to Life, which is against abortion, and other groups.

The DeVos family, which includes Betsy DeVos, who was Secretary of Education under Trump, and her husband Dick DeVos, who ran for governor as a Republican in 2006, supported Dixon. This may have been the most important support for Dixon.

Even before Trump backed Dixon, Dixon was thought to be the front-runner in the primary. But people in Michigan thought before Trump said anything that his support could help her win the nomination.

Whitmer, the Democratic governor who is running for re-election, has tried to build her campaign around defending abortion rights in the state. Democrats want to show a difference between Whitmer and Dixon, who made headlines last week for saying that a ban on abortion should not be lifted for rape or incest.

Republicans, on the other hand, have tried to link Whitmer to the economy and have attacked her for her lockdown policies during the pandemic, calling her a hypocrite for breaking them.
