After Trump Trounces Haley in Michigan – Donald Gives His Fans 1 Bold Prediction

This week, voters in Michigan went to the primary polls. Michigan is one of several battleground states both parties will need if they want the White House. Trump, for his party, faced off against Nikki Haley, who is trailing behind him by a wide margin.

The results have been tallied. And Trump won the state with 96% of the vote counted. He earned 757,000 votes to Haley’s 295,000. Trump won 68.1% of the Republican vote, further securing his lead.

Soon after the results came in, Trump spoke to his supporters. He thanked Republicans in Michigan for his big victory. Then, he made a stunning prediction of the role the state will play in the general election this fall.

From The Post Millennial:
In a statement after the win, Trump said, “I just want to thank everybody. This was a great day… we have a very simple task: we have to win on November 5, and we’re going to win big, and it’s going to be like nothing that anybody has ever seen. It’s going to be fantastic.”

“We win Michigan; we win the whole thing. The auto workers are with us. We have so many people with us. They’ve destroyed the auto working business—the auto workers— with this new deal, and with the all-electric mandate, all those cars are going to be made in China. And we’re going to bring it all back into Michigan and other places in our country.”

Trump declared that if he wins Michigan in November, he will win “the whole thing.” It seems, in Trump’s mind, that Michigan will be the key state in securing his election victory.

Michigan upset Democrats in 2016 by going for Donald Trump. The state leans blue, thanks to many auto workers and union members. It swung back to Biden in 2020. But many voters have likely soured on Biden, thanks to his push to build EVs. Trump warned voters that, if Biden gets his way, those electric cars will be “made in China.”

Auto workers went on strike for the first time in history, over Biden’s move to force an EV switch. EVs require fewer workers, meaning major layoffs by auto companies.

Should Trump win Michigan in 2024, he’ll likely win most swing states as well. If a blue state like Michigan goes for the Republican, swing states with larger conservative bases will be even easier to secure.

Key Takeaways:

  • Trump defeated Nikki Haley in the GOP Michigan primaries.
  • The former president declared that if he wins Michigan in November, he will win “the whole thing.”
  • Auto workers are outraged over Biden’s EV push, which Trump said would result in China making America’s cars.
