“Battle for Michigan’s Working-Class: Biden vs. Trump

It may be an understatement to say that the current presidential race between Joe Biden and Donald Trump has been a contentious one. This was heightened by the recent night of the primaries in Michigan. Michigan has been dubbed the quintessential blue-collar state and is a representation of America’s working class, making its vote one of the most highly sought after of all the states. In heartening fashion, voter turnout was through the roof, with more than half of the electorate taking to the polls in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, making this election the largest primary in Michigan’s history. Considering the importance of the state’s electorate, both Biden and Trump sensed an opportunity to make a strong statement and both campaigned hard across the state. Biden’s message of unity and strength in the face of adversity resonated with the labor community while Trump attempted to capitalize on his pro-manufacturing values and commitment to job growth in the Midwest. Ultimately, it was Biden who prevailed in the state by an overwhelming margin of 12 points. It is speculated that the majority of Michigan’s working class voters were convinced by Biden’s more consistent message of hope and workable policies. The victory of Biden in Michigan is a testament to the power of the working class and of the importance that they have in deciding the future of the United States. The Michigan primary was a crucial step forward in the Biden-Trump race and the results should serve as a reminder of just how important the working class community is to the future of the United States. Not only do they have the potential to influence the current presidential election, but more importantly, their votes serve as a barometer for the nation’s direction as a whole. As the dust settles on the Michigan primaries, the nation is reminded that the working class have the potential to shape both the immediate and long-term future of America.
