The endorsement that has loomed over the Republican race for Michigan governor has come in.
Tudor Dixon announced late Friday that former President Donald Trump endorsed her for governor.
“It is a great honor to receive President Trump’s endorsement and have the strength of our campaign to defeat Gretchen Whitmer further affirmed by his support,” Dixon said in a statement released late Friday.
In the last poll before the primary, Dixon was leading the other candidates, coming in at 19%. But it was a narrow lead, and more than 30% of Republican votes hadn’t decided who they were going with.
The Trump endorsement stands to push Dixon ahead even further heading into Tuesday’s election.
“When I met Tudor Dixon, she was not well known, but I could tell she had something very special – it was a quality that few others have,” Trump stated. “She delivered a powerful speech on how she would lead Michigan, fight for Election Integrity, turn around the Economy and protect the future of Michigan for every child. Then, after recognizing her during my Rally speech in April, her campaign took off like a rocket ship. The great people of Michigan got it – just like did. Tudor Dixon will make a great Governor and has my Complete and Total Endorsement.”
Along with the endorsement from former President Trump, Dixon has also earned other endorsements, including: the Police Officers Association of Michigan, Right to Life of Michigan, the Michigan Chamber of Commerce, the Associated Builders & Contractors of Michigan, the DeVos family, former Governor John Engler, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, U.S. Representatives Lisa McClain, Bill Huizenga and Tim Walberg, former Lt. Governor Dick Posthumus and over 20 Michigan legislators.
The DeVos backed candidate.
{{{{{Ping}}}}} formal clear endorsement…….
Not just De Vos.
She’s getting many endorsements from different directions.
Now Trump.
Good. I like her.
She can win.
At least it’ll be Woman vs Woman…….
who is Tudor Dixon. Never heard about Tudor Dixon till today. Live in the UP of Michigan, nothing about candidates running except for Edward McBloom, for state senate. No wonder the republican party never wins no information about candidates.
Well based on her looks alone she is definitely not a liberal
She was on America’s voice network.
She is good... what a change for Michigan.
These who see a need and run.
I love it!!
I’m in Otsego County, 53 miles south of the Bridge…….
Gaylord area where that Tornado creamed us. Still cleaning up.
It’s not just that Conservative woman are easy on the eyes, but it’s because they look so Sane. 😆 They have it together.
My vote was for Kevin Rinke. It’s not over, till its over. F Stretchin’ Gretchen.
I think he wanted a Fodor Dixon but a Tudor Dixon works for him.
Saw tonight Tudor Dixon is ahead enough to see her go ahead and win.
Rinke is good.
I was ready and excited about Chief Craig…..but he got taken by the petition trick. Really too bad.
I’m supporting Dixon.
No, it’s not over yet. Good luck!
Who ever wins, they need to go after Gretchen’s jungular.
Bummer! Kelly is the better choice.
Bummer! Kelly is the better choice.
You don’t speak ghetto English? Fodor is four door. Tudor is two door.
