Two months ago, former President Donald Trump and the Republican establishment joined forces to elevate Tudor Dixon in Michigan’s messy GOP primary for governor, signaling a united front against Democratic incumbent Gretchen Whitmer.
But since then, national Republicans have largely abandoned Dixon, leaving her to fend for herself in a state that was supposed to be one of the party’s top targets in 2022.
Trump may be the exception. He’s scheduled to headline a Saturday rally for Dixon and other GOP candidates in the state. His visit comes at a time when Whitmer and the Democratic groups supporting her re-election are crushing Dixon and the GOP in ad spending, $16.5 million to $924,000 through Wednesday, according to AdImpact, an ad-tracking firm.
That gap could widen between now and Election Day. Through Nov. 8, Whitmer and the Democrats have reserved $24 million in ads for the Michigan governor’s race. Republicans have reserved nearly $4 million — most of it from the Republican Governors Association, which is prioritizing other states even after its co-chairs cheered Dixon’s nomination and said they “couldn’t be more excited” to support her in the general election.
Dixon’s campaign has spent just $25,000 on paid ads since the primary. Her campaign’s last finance report showed her with $523,000 on hand, compared to Whitmer’s $14 million. And the two most recent polls have shown Whitmer leading Dixon by double digits.

Whitmer and the Democrats have been pounding Dixon hard on one subject: Abortion.
Trump’s all mouth and all show but no wallet. Same thing’s going on with Mastriano in Pennsylvania. The RGA is worthless.
Look where this ?story? came from....LOL
Mastriano too, because he’s no compromise on abortion. Period. But yet that somehow makes him evil, according to Shapiro and the Rats.
Whitmer is pure evil. How can the people not see that!?
Remember when 'rats used to cry foul when those figures were(supposedly)reversed?
Yeah, ummmm(crickets)
So what else is new?
Henry J. Gomez and Ben Kamisar of news.yahoo.com are part of the problem - the Lying Leftist Media. Along with them is the GOPe, the lukewarm version of the Left.
Trump is always the exception because he puts America, not his political future, first. That’s why America loves him - because he loves America.
Trump is having a rally for her and others in Michigan on Saturday. He should also start putting money into her campaign.
So Trump, who has lost a lot of money since 2016, and took no salary as President, is supposed to fund all campaigns of folks he endorses? Not the RNC?
How do you manage to be on the wrong side of every freaking issue? You have to be a bot. No human can be this stupid. Except a Dem.
Yeah, Trump’s sitting on over $100 million an PAC money and hasn’t spent any of it on these races.
Some things you can just count on.
He’s talking about Trump’s Save America PAC, which has over $115 million. Not Trump’s wallet.
Doug is like some others in the RNC; all of the lights are not on. Kick them all out and replace them with real live leaders. The RNC is dying.

Demoncrat??
He won't. He never does.
Not only are you a Soros/Zelensky/WEF stooge, you are now attacking Trump. How surprising! What are you doing on Freerepublic? Your brethen are at DU.
