Gretchen Whitmer rejects polls showing Harris up 5 points against Trump in Michigan: 'It's just not true'
SUMMARY
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer pushed back against polls showing Kamala Harris leading Donald Trump by five points in Michigan, calling them inaccurate. Speaking at the Texas Tribune Festival, Whitmer said, “It makes me nervous to see any poll that says there's a five-point lead for Kamala Harris in Michigan now. It's just not true.” She acknowledged that Michigan remains a key swing state, emphasizing that the race would be extremely close and urging voters not to get complacent. Whitmer referenced third-party candidates, highlighting the impact Jill Stein had in 2016 when her votes surpassed the margin by which Hillary Clinton lost to Trump in Michigan.
