Tudor Dixon is projected to win the Michigan Republican gubernatorial primary, according to Decision Desk HQ.
As of 9:18 p.m. Eastern, Dixon has won 42.5 percent of the vote with 13 percent estimated in. Her nearest challenger, Garrett Soldano, is trailing at 19.3 percent.
Other candidates in the race include Kevin Rinke, Ryan Kelley, and Ralph Rebandt.
Dixon received a last-minute endorsement from the former president on Friday, July 29, RedState reported.
The projected nominee spoke with RedState on Saturday about her candidacy, and how she is focused on using her manufacturing background to boost the state’s economy.
From that interview:
CA: How do we bring back manufacturing jobs to the U.S., and how do you plan to make Michigan really the gold standard for manufacturing as governor?
TD: We need to be friendly to the job creators and make sure that they feel that they have a friend in the government in Michigan, and that’s not happening right now. Even if you talk to the automotive industry, which is our legacy industry here in the state of Michigan, they’re even looking outside of the state of Michigan when they’re building new factories.
Even if it’s going to be a U.S. factory, it’s not coming to the state of Michigan anymore. The reasoning behind that is that the regulatory system in Michigan is just so bloated and out of control. They’ll tell me these are our largest industries, but even our smallest industries are telling me that if they wanna expand[…] the government will say, “You know, it’s gonna take a long time for us to get the permits. You might be able to break ground in eight months and then start making product within a year.” Whereas our neighboring states, and some of our Southern states, are saying, “We’re gonna help streamline the process. We’re gonna come alongside you. We know you’re in a race in manufacturing, and we wanna make sure that our state is the place for you to be, and we’re gonna have you break ground right away.” That’s not happening in Michigan.
The businesswoman will face off against incumbent Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in November. Cook Political Report rates the race as Lean Democratic, according to Dave Wasserman.
I've seen enough: Tudor Dixon (R) wins the #MIGOV GOP primary and will face Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) in the fall. @CookPolitical November rating: Lean D.

As this is breaking news, RedState will provide further updates as they become available.
What's more interesting is the Arizona gubernatorial primary, with Trump-backed Kari Lake going against Pence-backed Karrin Taylor Robson.
Whitmer will play dirty. She needs to remind people how Gretchen closed off the seed section during Covid for no reason and of all the other horrible stuff she did. Shouldn’t be too hard to get people re-pissed off at her.
“Eh, Donald Trump endorsed him....._
Uh no, PDT endorsed HER a couple days ago. She is a very pretty women, good luck come Nov. against that Dem Witch.
Keri Lake in Az. How is she losing so bad? I don’t get it.
Oops, my mistake.
Tudor Dixon
Yay! And Michigan got rid of idiot Levine too.
Well this really sucks, just shows the money still wins. Her super PAC put her over the top. To bad for us who live in Michigan. Millions of out of state dollars spent hear.
Garrett Soldano is the conservative, a local favorite. He has been fighting for Michigan all through this lockdown nonesence. Dixon is from Illinois, renown democrat stronghold. She is rino.
GREAT CANIDATE!
There are two seperate bios online right now for this person. One says she was born in Napierville Ill. One says Muskegon, Mi. My family is turning up new “old” fakebook posts, her identity is being molded right now before our eyes. I smell a rat.
👍
I am not firmly in her camp yet...
She has yet to answer 2 questions that are very important to me..
1) What is your stand on constitutional carry?
2) How do you plan to ensure that unelected government officials cannot shut down this state again?
If she will answer these 2 questions to my satisfaction, I will pitch my tent in her camp.
Tudor identifies as a “woman”, for good reason.
“ Keri Lake in Az. How is she losing so bad? I don’t get it.”

The Debbie Downers are out in force this morning……..
Unhappy for our victories.
That was Levin’s son. I wanted him to beat Stevens in the Democrat Primary.
Stevens is a bigger POS.
Wow.
You don’t know, and worse, you don’t know that you don’t know.
Typical…….your guy loses so the winners are RINOs or GOPe.
A simple google serch for the bio turns up two, AS IN 2 seperate bios.
