In his bid to retake the White House, few states hold as much promise for Donald Trump as Michigan.
The former president has already won the state once and President Joe Biden, who reclaimed it for Democrats in 2020, is confronting vulnerabilities there as he seeks reelection. Trump’s campaign promises an aggressive play for Michigan as part of a robust swing-state strategy.
But, at least for now, those promises appear to be mostly talk. The Trump campaign and its partners at the Republican National Committee haven’t yet made significant general election investments in the state, according to Michigan Republican Party Chairman Pete Hoekstra. The national committee, he said, hasn’t transferred any money to the state party to help bolster its operations heading into the general election. There are no specific programs in place to court voters of color. And there’s no general election field staff in place.
Like supporting Israel’s genocide of Palestinians when there’s a substantial Palestinian and Arab population in Michigan?
Supporting Israel is definitely Biden’s biggest and ongoing political mistake so far, but we have yet to see whether its actually a huge error. I’m hoping Biden turns around his decision sooner rather than later because too many people are suffering, and things will get worse in the US if Trump wins as I bet a huge reason may be because of Israel.
Which is crazy, because the alternative is a guy who fully supports Bibi and loves to see brown people suffer
