Michigan Dem worried about party divide on Israel and that Trump could win the state
NY Post
Michigan Rep. Debbie Dingell is underscoring that her home state is “purple” ahead of the 2024 election and took note of voter concerns about the War in Israel.
“Michigan’s a purple state. I can’t always convince people of that,” Dingell told NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday. “I was right back in 2015 and 2016.”
Trump won the Great Lake State in 2016 but lost it to Biden 47.84% to 50.62% in 2020. Democrats retain control of both the governor’s office and the legislature.
“We’ve really got to talk about the economy — the jobs that have been created, the kind of investments that are going in and show what’s been done. We have to show and remind them of the actions,” she added.
Trump currently has a 4.8 percentage point edge over Biden in Michigan, per the latest RealClearPolitics aggregate of polls.
Generally regarded as one of the top seven battleground states, Michigan touts 16 electors in the Electoral College, which Trump lost to Biden 232 to 306.
