Trump aims for Michigan victory over Biden, seeking another upset

Al Jazeera  

Trump is hoping to surprise again in Michigan, the traditionally Democratic state he won in 2016. Terri Loffreda-Weston recently wore her red “Make America Great Again” hat to a boat club in Macomb County, Michigan, where Kid Rock was singing country ballads in front of a giant American flag for a predominantly older white crowd of Donald Trump supporters. “I would have to see his returns for myself.” Trump won Michigan by only 10,704 votes in 2016 – the slimmest margin of any state, and the first time it had gone Republican since 1988. She referenced a commonly-heard saying: “When America catches a cold, Black America ends up with pneumonia, and that’s because we get hit worse.” She believes Black voters will be motivated to come out and vote because of what they see as Trump’s poor handling of the pandemic. Governor Gretchen Whitmer told Democrats in August, “The key to the White House goes through Michigan, and the key to Michigan is Oakland County.” Hutchings predicts Trump’s 2016 razor’s edge win in Michigan was a blip, not the start of a trend.
