Michigan GOP Omit Trump at State Convention
Michigan Republicans largely omitted President Donald Trump from their speeches at the state nominating convention. Candidates focused their campaign messages instead on local issues and Democratic governance.
Republican nominees in the United States state of Michigan avoided mentioning Donald Trump during an Aug. 22 convention in Mt. Pleasant. The strategy focused entirely on local issues rather than national figures ahead of the November election. Party leaders in Lansing aimed to distance state races from federal polls showing low approval ratings.
