Former President Trump received endorsements from all six members of Michigan’s Republican delegation in the House, his campaign announced Tuesday.
The campaign said in a release that GOP Reps. Tim Walberg, Bill Huizenga, John Moolenaar, Jack Bergman, Lisa McClain and John James declared their support for the former president in the 2024 Republican presidential nominating contest. All of them will serve as the leaders of Trump’s Michigan federal leadership team, working to try to help Trump win the state’s electoral votes.
Trump previously endorsed all six in their races for their House seats during last year’s midterm elections.
The release notes that Trump’s win in Michigan during the 2016 election marked the first time a Republican won the state in a presidential race in nearly 30 years. He won the state in 2016 by about 10,000 votes but lost when running for reelection in 2020 by about 150,000 votes.
Trump has continued to rack up endorsements from Republicans as he remains the front-runner for the GOP nomination in 2024. He has received endorsements from dozens of members of Congress.
Trump has built up large leads both in primary polling and in receiving endorsements. His current top competitor for the nomination based on polls, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), has only been endorsed by five current House members.
“Under the Trump presidency, America was prosperous, the economy was strong, the world was a safer place, and Michiganders were better off. President Trump has proven he has the ability to deliver results on Day One and also the ability to win in key battleground states like Michigan, being the only Republican to win a Presidential race here since 1988,” Walberg, Huizenga, Moolenaar, Bergman and McClain said in the release.
The five House members said Trump will strengthen the economy, increase domestic energy production and improve border security if reelected as president.
James argued in the release that President Biden’s policies have hurt Michigan’s middle class especially.
“In 2024, we need to give hope to Americans who feel like their government is failing them,” he said.
Not another pro Trump article./s. Are you sure the headline is correct?/s.
That’s awesome!
But he will lose MI (again).
Doesn’t cost them anything. Where’s the heavy lifting?
You seem to be pretty confident given that MI has 7 ‘D’ districts compared to the 6 ‘R’ districts.
Which 1 (or more) will flip for Trump?
If you believe he lost it you’re part of the problem
Did you see 2000 Mules?
If so, what did you think?
If not, why not?
Are you OK with vote fraud?
Vote fraud in MI is not something I can change.
Unless you have a plan to out-fraud the fraudsters, you cannot change it either. All you can do is whine and cry in your beer.
Trump is polarizing enough that not a single D will cross over to vote for him so how will you ever overcome the ballot issues?
Missed ALL of my points, didn’t you?
And you didn’t bother to answer my question(s)
So, you are what I suspected...part of the problem.
What you smokin, bud?
You think Dem voters will cross over for DeSantis after the Dems and MSM get done with him?
I think DeSantis has a better shot at getting D cross-overs than does Trump.
Some may be willing to vote for an outsider given Biden’s performance, but I doubt that even 1 will do so for Trump.
Maybe you can enlighten me.
I think your points are rather irrelevant — fraud may have happened in 2020; it likely happened in 2022; and it may even happen again in 2024.
What are you going to do about it?
Why does Biden think he can act so sure of himself? He knows he has the system rigged. As long as he is against Trump, he is safe.
His only weakness is against a younger candidate who might convince D and I voters to vote for an R for a change.
To begin with there was the Hillary inspired Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax that was known to and thereby approved by the Obama/Biden Administration. Think about that, a prior POTUS purposely set out to obstruct an incoming administration. That has never happened in American history.
Was Trump wrong March 2017, when he accused the Obama/Biden Administration of spying on him? No he was not, but who believed him?
Then there were the two Impeachments 1 and 2 and finally the Special Prosecutor Investigation. Simply unbelievable!
Despite the despicable and malicious behavior of Obama, Biden and Hillary, which recent POTUS was as successful as Trump?
Look at what Trump accomplished for the majority of Americans:
Gas price per gallon was about $2.30;
Inflation about 1.4%, mortgage rates were half of what they are now;
Unemployment was low before Covid and before Blue Governors shut everything down and we were in the midst of a V-shaped recovery until January 22, 2021;
Tax decrease; tax laws promoted small businesses as well as large;
US enjoyed energy independence - No Green Agenda, no war on energy, No Paris Treaty;
No war in Ukraine, no threat of nuclear war, NATO paid its way;
China was quiet and we were winning the trade war;
US companies were bringing home well paying jobs due to well executed tax treatments;
There was peace in the Middle East, aka Abraham Accords; the US Embassy moved to Jerusalem; and Iran was isolated.
Trump got three non-left “I don't know what a woman is” Supreme Court Justices on the bench allowing Roe vs Wade to be overturned.
Trump had an excellent Economic Team:

They were brilliant! And do not forget Wilbur Ross.

Funny how Russia was quiet during the Trump Administration. There was no Russian invasion of Ukraine until Biden took over. Why was that?
I hope you remember this:

This was a very memorable and strategic event early into Trump's Administration:

The above is why Putin behaved himself during the Trump Administration. Putin invaded the Ukraine under Biden just like he did under Obama when he claimed Crimea.
Who the heck can accomplish the above in four years while being impeached twice and investigated by the Obama/Biden Weaponized Agencies?
Trump received 11 million more votes in 2020 over 2016. Never has a sitting President lost when receiving more votes in his reelection bid. Trump increased his vote total by 17+%. Trump can claim victory in 17 of the 18 bellwether counties but still “lost” according to the Dems/MSM?
Do you really believe that Bumbling Biden received 15 million more votes than Hillary? That is an amazing and unbelievable 23% increase in votes for Bumbling Biden than Hillary. The election was stolen.
What vision does DeSantis have for America? What vision of Americans is he conveying to voters? Have you compared a DeSantis rally speech to a Trump's rally speech?
That is all nice. Well done!
What is available for the next 4 years?
Trump is, at best, a Lame Duck. Everyone in DC already knows he will be in office, at most, only 4 years. Who in the Swamp will be afraid of him?
He has already shown in 2022 that he no longer has any coattails so even Rs in Congress will be thinking past his term.
He has already shown that he is willing to throw anyone under the bus (even Kayleigh) so no one will be loyal to him.
At the outset, he goes in without an ability to instill fear, inspire loyalty, or even command respect. What can he really do?
answer my questions first
Regarding The Swamp - When was the Swamp afraid of Trump? I am defining the Obama/Biden/Hillary cabal as part of the Swamp. Therefore I will repeat myself.
“To begin with there was the Hillary inspired Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax that was known to and thereby approved by the Obama/Biden Administration. Think about that, a prior POTUS purposely set out to obstruct an incoming administration. That has never happened in American history.
Was Trump wrong March 2017, when he accused the Obama/Biden Administration of spying on him? No he was not, but who believed him?
Then there were the two Impeachments 1 and 2 and finally the Special Prosecutor Investigation. Simply unbelievable!
Despite the despicable and malicious behavior of Obama, Biden and Hillary, which recent POTUS was as successful as Trump?“
Regarding coattails - you have to be on the ballot to have coattails.
“But he will lose MI (again).”
Link please.
“Trump is polarizing enough that not a single D will cross over to vote for him”
Link please.
“Trump is, at best, a Lame Duck. Everyone in DC already knows he will be in office, at most, only 4 years.”
Link please.
Plenty of Michigan Democrats voted for Trump in 2016. That's how he won the state. And then Trump got 380K more Michigan votes in 2020 and lost to the fraud.
So saying, "not a single D" will vote for Trump doesn't make sense.
