Donald Trump has now secured Michigan, a key battleground state, adding it to his wins in the critical “blue wall” states of Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. With Michigan’s 15 electoral votes, AP has officially declared Trump the victor in this once reliably Democrat-leaning state.
The race in Michigan remained too close to call last night, though Trump held a lead over his Democratic opponent, Kamala Harris. Harris’s campaign had been banking on winning the blue wall states, which were crucial to her path to victory.
Michigan, historically a Democratic stronghold in presidential elections, flipped for Trump in 2016 but returned to blue for President Joe Biden in 2020. As Ballotpedia notes, Michigan has voted Democratic 83% of the time since 2000.
