Election 2024: Here are the issues Michigan voters care the most about

Michigan has had a back-and-forth history with parties for a century. From the 1930s to the ’60s, the state alternated parties before voting red from 1972 to 1988. It was then that the Great Lakes State became a part of the “blue wall” from 1992 to 2012. In 2016, Donald Trump had the majority vote by 0.2 percentage points, but President Joe Biden won the state by 2.8 points in 2020, securing 15 electoral votes.
