Trump-endorsed candidates emerge victorious in Michigan GOP convention

Thousands of Michigan GOP leaders gathered in Grand Rapids on Saturday to decide which candidates will make it onto November's ballot, delivering two victories for former President Donald Trump in a major test for his hold over the state party.

Both Trump-endorsed candidates, Kristina Karamo for secretary of state and Matt DePerno for attorney general were endorsed by Michigan Republicans in two of the most closely watched races of the weekend.

Trump made his presence known in the state, endorsing candidates up and down the ballot, mainly focusing on whether or not they believe his baseless claim that the 2020 election was stolen.

DePerno, a lawyer, filed suit seeking to audit the 2020 election results in Antrim County; however, those efforts were dismissed by a Michigan court Thursday. Karamo was part of the Supreme Court lawsuit that was eventually rejected seeking to overturn the 2020 results after claiming she personally witnessed election fraud in Detroit.

Karamo sailed to victory Saturday earning 67% of the vote among delegates, according to preliminary results. She will now face incumbent Jocelyn Benson in the general election.

Things weren't as clear in the attorney general race. No candidate cleared the 50% of votes needed, sending the race into a second vote where DePerno emerged triumphant. He faces a general election battle against Michigan attorney general Dana Nessel.

“whether or not they believe his baseless claim that the 2020 election was stolen.”

The obligatory sentence in every Trump related story.

“Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth”, is a law of propaganda often attributed to the Nazi Joseph Goebbels.

Baseless lol. Guy needs to follow the news. Lots of cheating happened and is coming out into the light.

But I guess you can just ignore the truth if you are a writer.

his baseless claim

It's interesting how one word can convert journalism into editorial.

What I don't understand is a judge's argument that a single incident would not change the result of the election.

How could that judge possibly know the number of other potential cases of vote fraud being prepared for filing?

This is why voters need a way to contact election offices afterward to see if they recorded your vote correctly. It will also force tracking between ballot and security envelope throughout the vote process.

The corrupt press can’t help it... they’re haters. They hate Trump, they hate his wins, they hate all of us who voted for him.

Do you think they will EVER feel SHAME (LOL) when they repeat, almost desperately, the phrase “UNFOUNDED BASIS” FOR BELIEVING THE 2020 Election was stolen?
