FILE - Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump speaks at a campaign rally in Waterford Township, Mich., Feb. 17, 2024. Trump is urging Republican leaders in Michigan to target Black voters in the swing state. Trump met with Michigan GOP chair Pete Hoekstra last Tuesday, March 19, in Florida to strategize his reelection bid and keyed in on “nontraditional Republican voters,” Hoekstra said Monday, March 25.
The pushback in metro Detroit has seemingly caught Trump’s eye. Hoekstra, who was the lone Michigan leader to meet directly with Trump, said their conversation centered on southeast Michigan and targeting “nontraditional Republicans voters and traditional Democrat voters.” The Biden campaign said in a statement that Michigan voters “remember Trump’s racist record, and they’re not going to fall for his desperate pandering.”
Biden’s reelection team has been in place for months. His campaign co-chair is the state’s Democratic governor, Gretchen Whitmer.
