Former President Trump is endorsing candidates for Michigan legislature who have made election administration and investigating last year’s vote central to their platforms, establishing allies in the state should he choose to run for president in 2024.
But there also have been signs of enduring loyalty to Trump. Meshawn Maddock, who later became a co-chair of the state party,to Washington in January and spoke briefly at a rally there before the riot at the Capitol. Her husband, state Rep. Matt Maddock, scored Trump’s endorsement for his re-election bid this month.
Jeff Timmer, a former Michigan GOP chair who has soured on the party and backed Biden last year, said Trump’s focus on the state is the result of his going “so far down this rabbit hole” about 2020. Biden’s 3-point victory over Trump in Michigan — a 154,000-vote win — has been affirmed by court rulings, state canvassers and risk-limiting audits, which examine samples of the overall vote to confirm whether the outcome is correct. A number of claims that had circulated about the vote were debunked in the McBroom report, outraging Trump, who issued multiple statements.
