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 watched her every day on America’s Voice. She was on with Steve Gruber who is conservative and says what he believes.
Tudor took this on and she is doing a good work for Michigan. I have followed her progress .
The difference in conservative and liberal
Libs get in for control.
Conservatives see a need and go to work to fix.
Georgia elected 2 Leftist Senators, a RINO Governor, a Bigger RINO AG.
But all that aside. My comment had more to do with MTG herself than Georgia voters.
She’s a loose cannon that isn’t taken seriously and can’t get a Bill with her name on it to pass. She’s left off other Bills as a Co-Sponsor.
I’m all for be dug-in on issues, MTG’s approach however isn’t going to help the people of Georgia or her district.
She was booted off her committees early on and then took to Twitter and continued with her attention seeking statements.
MTG will never get a Bill passed. She’ll never be taken seriously.
If Georgia elects RINOs, and they do, MGT would never win a State Wide Race.
Not saying I disagree with much of what she believes or stands for.
It’s her approach.
She’s not Professional. Poor demeanor.
I call all Presidents, “President”. Even President Carter.
It’s respect for the office and you’re correct, it’s a life long Title.
But I am a transplant from Downstate, so I dunno about the Yoopers.
Then we have to get to work.
Take nothing for granted.
MTG is not professional.. good.
How Kemp and rath... won was a huge disappointment.. I can only say it had to be by cheating.
I won’t hold my nose and vote for kemp.. and never Abrams.
Kemp is worse than a rino and I would hope GA escapes Abrams.
When I came to GA, it was a democratic state.
We have had republican governors for some
time.
Abrams is too into putting her beliefs on all Georgians.
Kemp is not the southern guy he portrays. He turned on Trump and tho there is more.. that one item is enough to know he’s not fit. He is bull headed even when wrong
Yep. You got that right.
Okay, now I know.
One more comment.. Kemp is the reason the US Senate is democratic and doing harm.
Kemp gave the open senate seat to loeffler. It belonged to Doug Collins. She lost it to a dem.. it was the last and needed dem for control. Kemp refused to even consider the cheating that did all that..
Collins is a Trump supporter.. a minister.. and those 2 qualities Kemp didn’t like. I guess. After all those errors.. to win again was downright sick.
Then Lightfoot should have never become mayor of Chicago. That is one of the weirdest looking mugs out there.
Color of her skin.. in Chicago...
I was wondering what took him so long to endorse her. I think she’ll be great.
“So far, Trump’s endorsements have been doing pretty well “
If PDJT doesn’t run and/or win in 2024, he may be responsible for saving America, anyway, based on his endorsements. That’s assuming they win.
“A presidential title is for life.”
That’s common etiquette — to call any pol by their most prestigious title. That’s why it’s always “Governor Huckabee”, etc.
“It’s her approach. She’s not Professional. Poor demeanor.”
You mean like what people say about Donald Trump, our best President ever?
Tudorfly endorses Tudor Dixon, also. I’m sure that will help.
No I don’t mean like President Trump.
I mean MTG doesn’t understand “The Art of the Deal”.
President Trump is bombastic(part of his charm), but he’s keenly aware how far he can go. He’s an expert at cutting deals and pulling people together.
In my opinion MTG lacks the ability to bring people together and instead chooses a scorched earth attitude.
As proof, respectfully, I offer up Trump’s accomplishments, even while being Trump.
What are MTG’s accomplishments?
Snagging headlines and feeding the hostile media. They use her as an example of a Right Wing Zealot Kook.
One can be a radical and still capable of functioning. MTG is not capable.
Yeah I was very disappointed when Kemp won his primary.
I’m really into different.
Odd or unique things and people…….but a first name for a girl “Tudor”?
She better be something in life with that name. 😆
” a first name for a girl ‘Tudor’?”
Could be mother’s maiden name.
Could be they just liked it.
And, let’s face it, it’s better than “Tiffani with an ‘i’”.
My nephew’s first name is my grandmother’s maiden name; it’s not common, but it suits him.
One of my Daughter’s name is Abigail.
We should have named that one “Oh $hit”………
