Gretchen Whitmer’s arch-foe, conservative commentator Tudor Dixon, emerged victorious during Tuesday night’s GOP gubernatorial primary in Michigan.

As The New York Times reports:

Tudor Dixon, a conservative media personality with the political backing of Michigan’s powerful DeVos family, won the state’s Republican primary for governor on Tuesday, according to The Associated Press.

She will advance to the general election against Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a first-term Democrat who was on the short list to be Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s running mate in the summer of 2020.

In its final weeks, the primary became a race to win the backing of former President Donald J. Trump, who ultimately did endorse Ms. Dixon. But she didn’t wait for his formal support to air a TV ad of Mr. Trump praising her at a campaign rally and release internal polling showing that half the primary electorate thought Mr. Trump had already endorsed her.

Ms. Dixon emerged victorious from a five-person field that lost its two best-funded candidates in May after they were disqualified by a state canvassing board for turning in forged petition signatures.

Ms. Dixon became prominent as a commentator on “Real America’s Voice.”

  1. Whitmer is in deep trouble,her own supporters are fed up with her dictatoship, and bullcrap of walking all over everyone. She is about to lose her job, and get crushed come midterms, with a red wave, to kick her to the curb where she belongs.
