Donald Trump defeated his main rival, Nikki Haley, in the state’s Tuesday primary, the Associated Press reported. On the Democratic side, President Biden is projected to prevail despite facing pushback from Arab and Muslim groups urging votes for “uncommitted” rather than the incumbent.
Former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley is using the Michigan Republican primary results to continue arguing former president Donald Trump is vulnerable in a general election.
Though Haley was projected to lose to Trump, her campaign issued a statement after the race was called that emphasized the election losses Republicans have suffered since Trump first won the presidency in 2016. “Since Trump became president in 2016, he lost Michigan Republicans the state House, state Senate, and Governor’s mansion. What was once a beacon for the conservative cause, the Michigan Republican Party is now fractured and divided,” Haley spokesperson Olivia Perez-Cubas said.
