The situation in Michigan is looking more uncertain for the Democrats. Kamala Harris, despite her high-profile position, is struggling to maintain support from key voting groups.
CNN’s Harry Enten recently pointed out that Trump holds a significant 27-point lead over Harris among non-college white voters.
I’ve been thinking about this a lot. If there is a surprise on Election Night it’s that Trump does better among white, non-college than polls suggest – which would likely flip Blue Wall. https://t.co/26u9t7qtvu

Although Enten notes Trump hasn’t made much headway with this group, the real concern is what happens if pollsters again underestimate Trump’s support, especially in this demographic. Should Trump overperform here, the so-called Blue Wall could collapse once more.
Take Bill Govier, a 30-year veteran of the Ford plant. Once an RFK Jr. supporter, he’s now fully behind Trump, and he believes at least half his colleagues feel the same way.
While United Auto Workers (UAW) President Shawn Fain has thrown his endorsement behind Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, Fain also admitted that many rank-and-file union members are leaning toward Trump.
And UAW isn’t alone in this union discord. The International Brotherhood of Teamsters refused to endorse any candidate after an internal poll revealed nearly 60 percent of its members are backing Trump, as reported by Townhall.
Likewise, the International Association of Fire Fighters and its Michigan chapter chose not to endorse anyone, a significant blow to Harris, who was banking on their support.
On another front, Democrats’ usual go-to issue, abortion, seems to be losing steam in Michigan. Voters here appear largely unmoved by scare tactics, given that abortion is already enshrined in their state constitution.

Instead, they’re more focused on skyrocketing utility bills, grocery prices, and the general inflation that has hit hard under Biden and Harris.
An auto worker from Macomb County, Michigan, is sharing his story after being laid off, joining over 1,100 others recently let go by Stellantis. He’s pointing the finger at Kamala Harris and her administration’s relentless push for electric vehicles, which he says is directly responsible for the layoffs.

After losing his job, this lifelong worker has decided to vote for President Trump for the first time. Frustrated with policies that have left auto workers like him out in the cold, he believes Trump offers a better future for the industry and for American workers like himself.
As Michigan tightens, there’s no doubt Democrats are feeling the pressure. To add to their anxiety, the state’s secretary of state has announced that final election results may not be available until after Election Day, possibly extending the suspense into Wednesday night.
