ROCHESTER, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Republican challenger Tudor Dixon will debate Tuesday for the final time before the November election tonight.
According to Crain’s Detroit Business, Dixon, a former businesswoman and conservative commentator who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump, is hoping a late surge of support will help her unseat the first-term incumbent Democrat.
Whitmer, a former state legislator, has a multimillion-dollar fundraising advantage over Dixon, who has never held public office.
The debate is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. tonight at Oakland University.
At their first of two face-to-face debates earlier this month, the candidates attacked each other as “too extreme” on issues such as abortion, gun laws and the COVID-19 pandemic.
This Saturday, former President Barack Obama will be in Detroit to campaign with Whitmer and other Democrats, part of a multi-city swing the Democrat is making to boost the party’s candidates in states that also are presidential battlegrounds.
