The Republican Michigan state House speaker said that President Donald Trump could easily win the state again, as former Vice President Joe Biden prepares to visit the state this week.
“Democrats should be scared about Michigan,” the House Speaker, Lee Chatfield, told Fox News on Sunday, saying that it “went red in 2016” while adding that he believes “it will go red again” in 2020.
Chatfield noted out that voters Michigan cast their ballots for Democrats in previous elections stretching back to the late 1980s. But the 2016 election went to Trump.
“Michigan had not been won by a Republican on the presidential ballot since 1988,” Chatfield told the news channel on Sunday, adding, “There’s two main reasons for that: Number one how radical and progressive the Democrat left has been, but also Trump’s focus on an economic message.”
Chatfield added that GOP voters are enthusiastic to vote for Trump, adding, “I just think Democrats have taken our state for granted … Michigan went blue in presidential elections for 30 consecutive years.”
“So they [Democrats] are scared, they are a little frightened, but their problem is they have to find out how do they give Michigan voters and Michigan workers attention while also proving that they’re the party not run by” progressive leftists, he argued.

Thank you for that link. No mention of Whitmer. Bad reporting.
My pick for biggest surprise of the 2020 election is John James defeats Gary Peters for that US Senate Seat from Michigan.
Governor Grinchy Witless has done the MI donks no favors....
Saw my 1st “Biden Harris” face mask this morning in New Baltimore.
The community of Detroit stayed home. I highly doubt they will this year. I hope we have additional voters to replace their additional votes.
Trump needs Michigan.
Really, all he needs to do is keep the states he won last time.
Michigan residents should be scared about Governor Witless and her ability to steal the election. A Ford union guy was on WIND [AM 560 in Chicago] last week and said that John James had “no chance” of beating Peters for the Senate seat.
Hmm New Baltimore should be solid Trump country but it figures that it was a facemask.
“The community of Detroit stayed home. I highly doubt they will this year.”
This country has no more goodies to give them.
A big problem is the Rats got the SOS in 18. The only reason Trump’s 10,000 vote lead held in Mi is the Republicans had the SOS and the AG. The rats have both now.
Amen. I just sent him some cash.
He’s going to get more out of me, too. He’s got a real shot.
Detroit won’t stay home—you’re right. But Trump will get a much better percentage from a higher turnout.
Trump needs 3m votes in PA.
There seems to be a renewed sense of pride in the great city of Detroit. That police chief is doing a great job.
The City of Detroit has lost a staggering two-thirds of its population since 1950. It simply doesn’t have as much influence in statewide elections anymore.
Oh wow. That’s great to hear!
