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.
He should not be allowed to leave US soil. Too many security vulnerabilities that our enemies would love to exploit. Once he’s gone; especially if to a non-friendly nation-state; it becomes near impossible to secure.
At least with him here he can be monitored and babysat by highly-trained security personnel.
I don’t know if that is even possible, given our laws, rights and so many sycophants.
