Winning Michigan this fall is crucial for Trump's re-election, but his path to victory could be upended by the entrance of Michigan Rep. Justin Amash, who last week announced he was exploring a run for the Libertarian Party's presidential nomination.
In interviews with CNN, there was a collective shrug among many Republicans in the Great Lake State, and at the President's campaign, about the possibility Amash would in any way shake up their efforts to win Michigan again for Trump and the GOP. Yet if Amash earned just a fraction of the more than 169,000 votes he won in his district in 2018, his third-party White House bid could affect the outcome of who wins Michigan -- and with it, perhaps, the White House.
"The difference between winning and losing for us in 2016 ended up being around 100 voters per congressional district," said Rick Gorka, a spokesman for Trump Victory 2020, the joint fundraising committee between the campaign and the Republican National Committee."It is a tier-one state for us and one we basically never stopped our work in."For the campaign, the focus is on drawing distinctions with Biden. Amash, they say, is not even on their radar.
