Dixon is a businesswoman and former conservative television commentator, plus an outspoken critic of Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s (D) handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
Former President Donald Trump endorsed Tudor Dixon in Michigan’s Republican gubernatorial primary on Friday evening.
Dixon is one of five candidates running in the state’s GOP primary, which takes place on Tuesday. Trump’s late endorsement may be able to give Dixon the final push needed going into the primary election, as recent polls have found she is slightly ahead or closely behind.
Republican political consultant Dave Forsmark said Trump’s endorsement “might give her a 10 percent bump.”
A poll that found Dixon had a slight four-point advantage over her challengers also determined that 38 percent of Republican voters remain undecided.
In his endorsement, Trump said Michigan “is being destroyed by the Radical Left Democrats,” and called Whitmer “the Queen of lockdowns (except for her husband), school closures, and a suffering economy.”

Trump cited Dixon’s “powerful speech” on election integrity as one of the reasons for his endorsement.
Trump said:

“Our vision for a family-friendly Michigan clearly resonates with voters. It is the reason our broad coalition is growing,” Tudor added. “Voters of all stripes are tired of being crushed by the heavy-hand of big government ideological liberals like Gretchen Whitmer and Joe Biden.”
Tudor also called out Biden and Whitmer for driving the country into a recession and promoting “radical gender and race ideology” to Michigan’s school children.
Actually the most recent poll, from just one day ago, has Dixon up by 22 points and only 10% undecided. Plus it's from Trafalgar, which is our most-approved and beloved pollster.
It's pretty clear which way the wind was already blowing.

There are some, what look to be, damming ads, against Dixon. I am still undecided. She may be the best one to defeat Whitmer. Kelley has creds.
Yea, I am pretty sure that a candidate who’s already up by 22 points according to Trafalgar doesn’t need a whole lot of bandwagon “help” 24 hours before an election.... but hurray for “winning percentage”!
I’m not suggesting that Dixon is going to be another rotten choice like Oz, but let’s not pretend that this is some bold move which is going to singlehandedly decide the election and put Dixon over the top today.
MI folks, Good endorsement? Or a other OZ fiasco in the making?
Part of these endorsements is the goodwill encouraged in politics by making the endorsement.
When Trump runs again for 24 he will need many Republican governors supporting his candidacy.
Yea, I am pretty sure that President Trump’s endorsement hurt, rather than helped Dixon, right? ‘’

I have to assume at this point the site has a dedicated group of trolls or these folks honestly believe and feel the need to post the latest fake news narratives
Two weeks ago i read a Salena Zito article on Dr. OZ doing the hard work of retail politicking in the small areas of Pennsylvania. Then the fake news decides he isnt campaigning and all is lost, picked up and repeated daily now by a group of Freepers
Now we have a dedicated group following the fake news argument a Trump endorsement is meaningless or he does it after fact for his ego
No worry, the next ludicrous Ukraine story have been posted
If she wins the Primary, I’ll vote for her in November. However, I did not vote for her today.
She’s also very pretty as opposed to the Gretch.
I’d vote for her...twice!
Vote early and vote often, my democrat dad used to say.
Just cast my ballot..less than 10 percent turnout so far...
Ryan Kelley got my vote
No, this woman is a fake. Michigan wants Garrett Soldano. He was therefighting Crotchen Witmer during lockdown. That other woman is an elitist golden spoon fed dictater wannabe.
Gretch makes me wretch.
Trump has a history of being bamboozled.
I voted for Kelly.
As did I.
Hers is a much better brand of “girl power”, no?
