Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : Trump took an early lead in the vote count on election night, but that lead began to erode overnight and early Wednesday morning and Biden took the lead later that afternoon.
51% : Trump and Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris have campaigned heavily in pursuit of Michigan's 15 electoral votes since becoming their parties' nominees, with a focus on vote-rich Detroit and its suburbs and Kent County in the west, home of Grand Rapids and a key swing area of the state.
51% : Voters in the 7th District narrowly backed Trump in 2016 and Biden in 2020.
21% : The law change may result in a speedier release of mail voting totals and may mitigate the so-called "red mirage" that Trump falsely claimed was evidence of voter fraud in Michigan and in a handful of other key states.
