Forbes • • nation
Key Points:
- Michigan GOP primary race saw a surprising result as Amir Hassan, endorsed by President Donald Trump, appears set to lose despite Trump's active promotion of Hassan on Truth Social.
- Trump highlighted Hassan's background in the U.S. Navy and federal law enforcement, and criticized the incumbent Democrat for voting against tax relief measures.
- Thomas Smith, a candidate who dropped out in mid-July and endorsed Al Lemmo, remained on the ballot but Lemmo only received 16.4% of the vote, trailing behind two other candidates.
- The unexpected outcome reflects complexities in the race, with Hassan losing despite Trump's endorsement and Smith's withdrawal not consolidating votes behind Lemmo.
