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.
She is no rino!
So far, Trump’s endorsements have been doing pretty well - and a lot are still to be decided.
If he’s not ‘fast’ enough for you, maybe you could do better.

Because it’s a battleground state. He should have endorsed her earlier.

Well, maybe you should take on the endorsements, study the candidates, prioritize them, etc.
I’m sure you could do it better.
Ivana died. The funeral delayed it.
Woman vs Fivehead
As is usually the case, Trump endorsed her once he saw she was the most likely to win.
I meant earlier than that.
By the way you’re so concerned I think Trump delayed just to piss you off.
Or it could be because there were Court cases pending over the Petition mess.
Chief Craig’s case was just rules on a few days ago.
Now that it’s settled who the candidates are, Trump can endorse.
Sheeeeesh………complaining about nothing.
I know people call her a RINO because she is endorsed by the Chamber of Commerce and the DeVos family. While I understand their concerns, there is nothing in her policy stances that indicate RINO at all.
Being this late in the game, Trump would have not endorsed her if she was a RINO like people says.
She worked for America’s Voice which is hardly a RINO outlet.
Rich Baris thinks people are overreacting to her endorsements by the Chamber and DeVoss family.
Baris said the more people unite behind one Republican the better because Whitmer has got to go. If Whitmer is re-elected, it will be extremely difficult to carry Michigan in 2024.
Latest Polls [RCP] has Witless coasting to an easy win over Tudor Dixon. One Poll has Witless up by 19% over Dixon.
Becky DeVos wrote POTUS a letter published yesterday. No date on it, but in it Devos cooly denies working against Trump backed candidates, stumps for Tudor, said Trump’s endorsement can make the difference, before signing off.
Betsy was a ghost as Ed Sec, turned back nothing, but did stall all leftist advances. Not sure she showed up in the ed department office to stamp “No”.
Betraying Trump was her only claim to fame.
Am I the only one or did anyone else briefly see Richard Nixon as the guy’s name?
A presidential title is for life. He will always be President Trump.
We never say former President Lincoln or Former President Clinton.
Yep. Two votes here...
Say it in Ebonics and you’ll get it.
How do you get your knowledge of Georgia? Do you think Independent voters in Georgia are the same as they are in some state you might name off of the top of your head?
Georgia was totally dominated by Democrats for at least two hundred years. Independent voters in Georgia by that very fact have rejected the Democrats of their parents and grandparents. If a voter in Georgia does not claim to be a Democrat, MTG has a chance with them.
