In Michigan, voters are motivated by both the promises of their preferred candidate and the fear of what the opponent might do if elected president. Supporters of Donald Trump at a rally in Saginaw Valley State University expressed fear of a Kamala Harris presidency, citing concerns about communism, open borders, and low-quality work due to undocumented migrants. They believe Trump is for the people and are worried about the economy under a Harris administration.
On the other hand, supporters of Kamala Harris at a campaign event in Flint voiced fears of a second Trump presidency, expressing concerns about attacks on abortion rights, the potential for Trump to become a dictator, and the implementation of Project 2025, a detailed policy plan. They believe Biden and Harris have worked to lower prescription costs and protect reproductive rights.
Overall, supporters on both sides are fearful of the implications of the opposing candidate winning the election. Trump supporters fear a Harris presidency would harm the economy and national security, while Harris supporters fear a Trump presidency would threaten abortion rights and freedoms. The upcoming election in Michigan is influenced by these fears as much as by the promises and platforms of the candidates.
