"President Donald Trump opened his Tuesday speech at the Detroit Economic Club with his regular claims of election fraud. But instead of his usual baseless bluster, Trump made the head-scratching claim that the 2024 U.S. Senate race in the state was rigged despite Trump himself winning on the very same ballot. Trump opened his remarks by claiming he won Michigan in 2020, a constant claim that various audits and court cases have roundly dismissed."
"In the 2024 race, Rogers lost to now-Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), who received 2.713 million votes, compared to Rogers's 2.693 million votes. Slotkin eked out the win by just .34 percent. Meanwhile, at the top of the ballot, Trump beat Kamala Harris in the state with 2.816 million votes to 2.735 million, respectively. Trump scored a solid 1.4 percent win in the state under the exact same conditions and on the exact same ballots as Rogers lost."
President Donald Trump began a Detroit Economic Club speech with assertions of election fraud and reiterated that he won Michigan in 2020 despite audits and court rulings rejecting that claim. He introduced Republican attendees and directly told 2024 Senate candidate Mike Rogers, "They rigged the election on you," while insisting his own race "was too big to rig." Rogers lost the 2024 Senate race to Democratic Sen. Elissa Slotkin by about 0.34 percent, with 2.713 million votes to Rogers's 2.693 million. Trump won Michigan on the same ballots with a 1.4 percent margin over Kamala Harris. Local reporters reacted with surprise.
