In case you missed it, people across the country are picking up on what we’ve known for a while – Michigan is poised to flip red for President Trump.
“As [Trump] did in Detroit, he connects with his audience and hits on the issues he knows are most important to them. For Michigan – one of the key battleground states in this election – that’s the economy and the long-term health of the automotive industry,” USA Today wrote.
Michiganders want a President who can lower our historic inflation rates. A President who can secure our southern border so that we can stop worrying about it. A President who has a proven track record of pro-worker policies, so that we don’t have to worry about EV mandates taking priority over Michigan jobs.
“..Trump’s speech resonated with not only business leaders but also with union workers, who are an important voting bloc in Michigan. Harris is struggling with union support, while Trump is gaining ground with working-class voters. And it’s because he speaks about the issues that they care about.”

OPINION: Trump has a great chance of winning Michigan. His Detroit speech highlighted why.

You never know what you will hear from former President Donald Trump. He’s notorious for riffing and losing track of his teleprompter.
His speech Thursday at the Detroit Economic Club, which I attended, was no different. Trump stretched what could have easily been a 30-minute automotive-related policy speech into a two-hour event that covered a lot of ground.
Yet, the members of the elite Detroit club, composed of business and other community leaders, seemed to thoroughly enjoy what they heard. They told me as much afterward.
The roughly 1,000 attendees applauded throughout and laughed at Trump’s jokes. And they appreciated what he said about protecting U.S. jobs and creating more fair trade relationships, all while lowering taxes and regulations.
