Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer won a second four-year term in Tuesday’s election, defeating Republican challenger Tudor Dixon in the battleground state where abortion had become a key issue.
Kemp’s victory completes a remarkable political comeback after attacks from Trump over Kemp’s refusal to overturn Georgia’s 2020 electoral results.
Nearly all the state’s voters said rising prices for gas, groceries and other goods were a factor in how they voted, with half naming it as the single most important factor. And among the voters who said inflation was an issue in how they cast ballots, roughly half named rising food and grocery prices as the most important factor.
Meanwhile, nearly 6 in 10 voters say their family’s financial situation is holding steady. Those voters were more likely to vote for Whitmer. Dixon, who said during the Republican primary that she believed the 2020 election was stolen from Trump, has been vague about her attitude toward election security during the general election. When asked whether she would accept the results of the 2022 gubernatorial election, Dixon said she would “look at what happens in November and make sure that the secretary of state follows the law.”
