Two months ago, former President Donald Trump and the Republican establishment joined forces to elevate Tudor Dixon in Michigan’s messy GOP primary for governor, signaling a united front against Democratic incumbent Gretchen Whitmer.
But since then, national Republicans have largely abandoned Dixon, leaving her to fend for herself in a state that was supposed to be one of the party’s top targets in 2022.
Trump may be the exception. He’s scheduled to headline a Saturday rally for Dixon and other GOP candidates in the state. His visit comes at a time when Whitmer and the Democratic groups supporting her re-election are crushing Dixon and the GOP in ad spending, $16.5 million to $924,000 through Wednesday, according to AdImpact, an ad-tracking firm.
That gap could widen between now and Election Day. Through Nov. 8, Whitmer and the Democrats have reserved $24 million in ads for the Michigan governor’s race. Republicans have reserved nearly $4 million — most of it from the Republican Governors Association, which is prioritizing other states even after its co-chairs cheered Dixon’s nomination and said they “couldn’t be more excited” to support her in the general election.
Dixon’s campaign has spent just $25,000 on paid ads since the primary. Her campaign’s last finance report showed her with $523,000 on hand, compared to Whitmer’s $14 million. And the two most recent polls have shown Whitmer leading Dixon by double digits.

Trump has received plenty of money over the past almost 2 years. He needs to part with some of it to get the job done in Michigan if others aren’t willing to help.
Bingo!
I don’t know. I keep getting emails and texts telling me to reserve my space at the rally. Somehow that tells me they are looking for more bodies and too much space yet to fill.
“The RGA.. “
What is that?
But like everything else, it's corrupt and only helps those Republican candidates that the Establishment approves of.
Worthless.
TRUMP is putting money in campaigns by hosting rallies for conservative candidates. That’s a lot of $$$$.
That ad is freaking everywhere and so annoying. Dixon needs a counter punch and I have yet to see one single ad from her. I had high hopes for her and in a sane world there is no way Whitmer should win but she and her Nazi sisters are cruising as if they were unopposed. It’s sickening. I hope the rally helps but it may be too little too late. This is all Ronna’s fault. Where is the money???
I’m with you brother.
No, he's not hosting anything. The candidates host the rallies and he just shows up for a couple of hours and then leaves. That's not much help, especially since the rallies are paid for out of candidates' campaign treasury, which makes it a net loss in the long run.
More like a snake in the grass.
That's because she doesn't have the necessary funds to pay for them. So why is Trump not helping her on that front?
Yahoo.. What a joke! I have to go to the Yahoo main page to log into my email. They have the most misleading headlines I have ever seen. Maybe worse than CNN. On the other hand the Dems seem rife with money. Where is all of it coming from?? Probably either Soros, China or simply laundered taxpayer money from Ukraine perhaps.
How much campaign cash does Dixon have? There aren’t even many signs for her. Of course there are no Whitmer signs. No one wants to publicize that they are a dumbass😖
Her campaign’s last finance report showed her with $523,000 on hand, compared to Whitmer’s $14 million.
You hit the nail on the head.
The people will have to step up, go around the GOP and support those candidates if they ever want political leaders that are not part of the sellout establishment.
Got it. RGA. You’re right. Useless and corrupt.

OK what’s going on here, does anybody know? Is she the one that got Trump’s support and then said disparaging remarks about Trump supporters a couple weeks later?
