Battleground Michigan: Delta County Voters Weigh in on Candidates

DELTA COUNTY, MI- We are about two weeks away from the November election. We’ve been speaking with voters across Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Michigan is a battleground state for November. Our Washington, D.C. correspondents visited with voters in Escanaba. They share their concerns and reasons why they’re going to the polls in November.  

Voters in Delta County, Michigan said the 2024 election is one of the most important elections. In previous elections, voters predominately favor Republican candidates. In 2020, two-thirds of voters chose former President Donald Trump and only one-third chose President Joe Biden. 

“I like that he’s [Trump] going to shut the border down because we need those jobs to stay here,” said Republican voter Dave Dahn. “I see he’s being attacked from the left really hard and I think he’s the right guy for the job. The Democrats have lied to us multiple times about almost everything.”  

Just like in other parts of the country, voters in Delta County said their number one concern is about the economy. Voters said whoever wins the White House needs to focus on making our economy stronger. The Republican voters in the county said the are voting for Trump because he will be tough on immigration issues and hopes he will cut taxes. The Democrat voters shared they’re voting for Vice President Kamala Harris because she will help with other critical issues like healthcare and safeguarding our democracy.  

“Trump was trying to overthrow our government,” said Democratic voter Bill Peterson. “My biggest concern [about Trump] is that he’s a crook. He has cheated more and more people and screwed more and more people. I think he belongs in jail.” 

However, there are some voters who still haven’t made up their minds as to who they will support.  

“At this moment I really don’t know who I’m voting for,” said undecided voter Morgan Parker. “For this election I feel like it’s been a lot of banter; not misinformed but not really informed what their policies are or really how they’re gonna handle them.”
