Trump renews attack on Michigan Senate ahead of sanction hearing
View Comments
Lansing Former President Donald Trump on Saturday attacked the Michigan Senate and repeated unproven claims about fraud in Detroit s November 2020 election, two days ahead of a key court hearing.
Trump lost Michigan to Democrat Joe Biden by 154,000 votes or 3 percentage points. The GOP senators review, a series of court rulings, bipartisan boards of canvassers and dozens of audits have reinforced the outcome. The only reason Detroit, Michigan, is not yet under investigation is because the Republicans in the state Senate are a bunch of weak RINOs that are afraid to act, Trump said in the statement.

Now, Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey (R) has acknowledged the strategy directly.
In an interview with JTV’s Bart Hawley that aired July 1, Shirkey acknowledged that Whitmer would be unwilling to sign a series of voter ID bills passed in the Senate last month, and noted Republicans likely wouldn’t have the votes necessary to override her veto.
