Two months ago, former President Donald Trump and the Republican establishment joined forces to elevate Tudor Dixon in Michigan’s messy GOP primary for governor, signaling a united front against Democratic incumbent Gretchen Whitmer.
But since then, national Republicans have largely abandoned Dixon, leaving her to fend for herself in a state that was supposed to be one of the party’s top targets in 2022.
Trump may be the exception. He’s scheduled to headline a Saturday rally for Dixon and other GOP candidates in the state. His visit comes at a time when Whitmer and the Democratic groups supporting her re-election are crushing Dixon and the GOP in ad spending, $16.5 million to $924,000 through Wednesday, according to AdImpact, an ad-tracking firm.
That gap could widen between now and Election Day. Through Nov. 8, Whitmer and the Democrats have reserved $24 million in ads for the Michigan governor’s race. Republicans have reserved nearly $4 million — most of it from the Republican Governors Association, which is prioritizing other states even after its co-chairs cheered Dixon’s nomination and said they “couldn’t be more excited” to support her in the general election.
Dixon’s campaign has spent just $25,000 on paid ads since the primary. Her campaign’s last finance report showed her with $523,000 on hand, compared to Whitmer’s $14 million. And the two most recent polls have shown Whitmer leading Dixon by double digits.

Yeah Timber Rat it's Trumps job to fund the GOPee and the RNC. Where TF do you people come from?
Yes, he is, if he's serious about running in 2024, because these candidates all stepped up for him and took heat for it. He could at least help them by writing a few checks for their campaigns because they sure ain't getting any help from the worthless RNC and RGA. But loyalty only runs one way with Trump.
People just aren’t donating to the GOP anymore with all the death threats from RAT goons they receive when they do. Non-donors also normally don’t have visits from the FBI goon squawds and have their cell phones taken away from them.
Isn’t this the state where they found a way to DQ the two leading Republican candidates?
Folks....Dems in Michigan and elsewhere are terrified of Trump...period!!! That Trump Campaign Rally coming this Saturday, evening 10/01/2022 better be packed to the rafters with Trump supporters!!!
Wake up folks...Trumpie is “DA Man”!!! Michigan can turn “Red” this year. Get off your butts and stop complaining and make good things happen. Always remember...the Lord helps those that help themselves. Stop crying and start trucking seriously!!! Get with it and fight for victory....like you mean it!!! AMEN!!!
No, it’s Trump job to help fund the candidates he endorses because they are immediately cut off from the Establishment when that happens. He hasn’t given one dime to Mastriano’s campaign. That’s a fact. Doug’s having to do it all himself.
Trump has huge rallies, wtf has the rest of the GOP done? McConnell is too busy sucking Biden and China’s ass.
Trump’s picks are winners who win, win and win!
From which would you buy a used car?
Rallies only go so far. Money is what is needed to sustain the campaigns of those he endorses but are cut off from the Establishment, which wants them to lose.
Then your beef should be with the GOPee/RNC. Like every other demrat on this forum you go through life confused.
But yet there was a guy on this board yesterday who was attacking Mastriano for supposedly not doing enough in his campaign, despite being low budget, and without any financial support from Trump or his PAC. The words are hollow.
You can’t have it both ways.
Used car from DeSantis and maybe a used truck from Noem, maybe.
They ambushed Dixon with a gotcha abortion question and she gave a blunt campaign killing answer and it was a kill shot. Every ad has it. Whitmer is rat of the worst kind but her awful record is buried. Mi is gone for good the rat SC just
put the state equivalent of HR1 on the ballot and the lying ads pushing it are running non stop.
Trump is having a rally for her and others in Michigan on Saturday.‘’

Hence the article. Its been obvious for some time if we dont give these candidates a few bucks by the millions, the oligarchy running this entity called the GOP sure is not.
But loyalty only runs one way with Trump. ‘’

The Q level garbage you post on Ukraine is bad enough, but this statement tells it all. You need to spend some time away from fake news. Its unhealthy
No, he's not. Look at his post #22.
Does it matter? The fact is that neither Trump nor his PAC have contributed ANYTHING to the candidates has has endorsed. He just shows up for the occasional rally, enjoys the applause, and then gets back on his jet and flies away.
They are doing the same in my 7th Congressional district race between Dem "incumbent" Slotkin and Republican Tom Barrett.
