The Strategy for Trump in Michigan – Talk about EV’s and Zip It
Things in Michigan look good for Former President Donald Trump. He’s currently enjoying a comfortable polling lead, as the last CNN poll has him leading in the state by 8 points. This comes even as he battles a packed schedule of legal appearances and campaign events.
The truth is that Donald Trump hasn’t trailed in a Michigan poll since October 2023, this according to the Real Clear Polling Aggregate. A string of external factors may be helping.
Biden and the DNC appear to be fighting internal policy battles along with trying to keep RFK Jr. off the ballot in the Great Lake State. Biden’s support among Michigan Arabs has pummeled due to the Israel-Hamas conflict. This was apparent when more than 100,000 people checked off the ‘Uncommitted’ box in the recent Democratic primary. Biden has called himself a “zionist”, and Arabs in the state don’t believe he’s done enough to influence Israel’s operations in the Gaza Strip.
The the prospect of an RFK Jr. being listed on the ballot is also growing, as according to his Super PAC website, he’s met the signature threshold to appear on it. The DNC is not happy with this, and they’ve expressed their disappointment in the form of a complaint with the Federal Elections Committee, alleging that the campaign is improperly benefiting from the Super PAC’s signature gathering initiative.
So what should Trump do about this? Arab Americans are not likely to vote for Trump. Trump was arguably the most pro-Israel president in history. However, there is a high likelihood that they stay home all together. In the face of all this, he should try his best to keep his name out of the headlines in Michigan. Any question he gets regarding Israel, he should try his best to limit his words. He’s largely done this thus far and it’s working.
Trump should also hammer home the possible electric vehicle crisis that could hit the state. The demand for electric vehicles is not there yet, but the supply is on it’s way. A new EPA regulation forces auto makers to have electric vehicles make up to two-thirds of their sales by 2032. Factories focused on EV vehicle manufacturing are arriving in Detroit. But if the demand isn’t there, this could be catastrophic for the Detroit and the automobile business in general. A Pew Research poll found that only 38% of Americans would consider buying an electric vehicle.
