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.
I voted for her, we will see, just afraid of the fraud to keep Whitmer in power.
I didn’t hear about her until few months ago so just researched her and felt she had the best chance out of the other candidates. I voted for her.
Yeah I wanted Craig so next up was Dixon.
I do speak ghetto.
We say it, “Fo Doe”…….
Yes but if he wins you better believe DOJ, Garland, FBI going to raid his house and arrest him in the middle of the night for Jan 6th. I’ve seen innocent people who merely attended the rally have their home raided without being a shown a warrant, taken to police station held, then released then shown a warrant. Dem lawyers and Judges will keep him from being Governor.
So I went with Tudor.
Not just that if he wins…….during the campaign Whitmer will brand him “Michigan Militia”, commercials of footage of him at the Capitol and there is plenty of footage.
Independents/Moderates are the backbone to winning in Michigan, as we are a purple state.
They will not vote for Kelley for Governor.
He reminds of MTG. She can win her district, but she can never be Governor of Georgia because the Independent voters won’t vote for her.
I think she has a the best chance of knocking Whitmer off.
I stand corrected...
Thanks for update. Not getting involved in the back-and-forth over on regional.
>Yes but if he wins you better believe DOJ, Garland, FBI going to raid his house and arrest him in the middle of the night for Jan 6th.
That already happened (June 9)! OK, not middle of night but FBI no-knock and confiscation, for a misdemeanor charge.
I guess we will see. I think he will win. And win against Whitmer. She is absolutely hated in Michigan.
We all really have one goal. LOL
Have a great night.

Have a great night.
Whitaker doesn’t have a jungular.
I don’t think anyone has...
Why would he wait so long to endorse her? Is she a RINO?
Why would you say that? To poison the well?
If Tudor gets the Republican win.. she has good chance to win in nov.
Realize people vote on looks also. She is a beautiful lady.. has 3 daughters, if my memory is correct. She talks great and has much to offer.. a Christian.
She outshines the current gov.
By Nov, our economy may be worse and more will come to.. ENOUGH .
