Tudor Dixon, the front-runner to win the Republican nomination for governor of Michigan, may have just gotten a winning boost with a coveted endorsement by former President Donald Trump on July 29—just days before the Aug. 2 primary.
Trump raised political eyebrows at an April rally in Macomb County when, of the then-10 GOP gubernatorial hopefuls, he mentioned Dixon by name and spoke favorably about her but stopped short of an endorsement. Trump was silent about Dixon until recently, after months of heightened suspense among the five remaining candidates, who all competed fiercely for Trump’s endorsement.
