GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — One of Donald Trump’s two hand-picked candidates for Michigan government positions won an endorsement at the state’s Republican convention to run in November and another is in a close run-off, a sign that the former president still has sway with voters.
Secretary of State candidate Kristina Karamo won her race and Attorney General hopeful Matthew DePerno was facing a second ballot to see if he will run on the Republican ticket. Karamo and DePerno both deny that Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election.
Trump held a rally earlier this month in Michigan and has endorsed 15 other candidates in the state, whose nominations will be decided by August in GOP primaries.
