Kamala Harris called Donald Trump on Wednesday afternoon and formally conceded the election to him.
‘She discussed the importance of a peaceful transfer of power and being a president for all Americans,’ a senior Harris aide said.
Harris will deliver remarks at Howard University later today. Trump is spending the day at his home at Mar-a-Lago.
The state is a key plank in the ‘blue wall’ that Trump cracked in 2016 – after Hillary Clinton famously failed to visit the state until days before Election Day.
Democrats were counting on that ‘blue wall’ to give Harris the White House.
Joe Biden grabbed it back in 2000, and it served as a major battleground between Trump and Harris.
The first sign that Michigan would pose trouble for Democrats came in the primary, where Israel’s war in Gaza was proving increasingly unpopular.
