President Biden and former President Trump projected to come out on top in Michigan primaries
Former President Trump and President Biden
ABC News has projected wins for President Joe Biden and Former President Donald Trump in Michigan in their respective primaries based on analysis of the vote as of Tuesday evening.
As of Tuesday evening, Nikki Haley has received the second most Republican votes.
Also as of Tuesday evening, “uncommitted” has received the second most Democratic votes.
Michigan has become a closely contested swing state in recent presidential elections, having swung between the Democratic and Republican candidates in the last three elections.
After decades of voting for Democrats, the state narrowly voted for Republican Donald Trump in 2016 and then switched back to Democrat Joe Biden in 2020. Michigan was also an epicenter of baseless election conspiracy theories during the 2020 election, which received national attention.
Both President Biden and former President Trump have faced recent headwinds in the state.
