To no one's surprise, Joe Biden and Donald Trump emerged as the winners of their respective primaries in Michigan on Feb. 28. The current POTUS got about 81% of the Democratic vote, easily fending off a viral campaign to vote "uncommitted." Trump, meanwhile, easily took down Nikki Haley, his lone Republican competitor, with more than 68% of the GOP vote in the Great Lakes State.
The wins further cement the notion that the 2024 general election will be a Biden-Trump rematch.

"Haley got trounced last night, losing the Great State of Michigan by over 42 Points. Looking forward to Super Tuesday where she is doing even worse, if that's possible. I'm leading every State by over 60 Points! People don't like her, and they know, as per the polls, that she can't beat Biden, or any Democrat!" —Donald Trump

"I want to thank every Michigander who made their voice heard today. Exercising the right to vote and participating in our democracy is what makes America great.
Four years ago, it was Michigan's diverse coalition that came together to reject Donald Trump's MAGA extremism and sent me and Kamala [Harris] to the White House. Because of Michiganders, we've been able to work hand in hand with Governor Whitmer and the incredible Democratic leaders in Michigan's congressional delegation to deliver enormous progress. I was proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with UAW workers last year as they led the fight for the wages and benefits they deserve. We took on Big Pharma and are lowering the cost of prescription drugs for nearly 2 million Michigan seniors. We're investing in our world-class auto industry and are finally making big corporations pay their fair share after Trump rigged the economy for special interests and gave handouts to his wealthy friends. And we're fixing our crumbling bridges and roads while creating thousands of good-paying, union jobs right here in Michigan after Trump shipped them overseas.
For all of this progress, there is so much left to do. Donald Trump is threatening to drag us even further into the past as he pursues revenge and retribution. He proudly brags that he is the reason Roe v. Wade was overturned in this country. Because of Donald Trump, women's lives are at risk, doctors face the prospect of criminal penalties for doing their jobs, and families desperately trying to have children are having access to fertility treatments ripped away. Now, Donald Trump wants to ban abortion nationwide — including here in Michigan.
You've heard me say many times it's never a good bet to bet against the United States of America. It's never a good bet to bet against Michiganders either. This fight for our freedoms, for working families, and for Democracy is going to take all of us coming together. I know that we will." —President Joe Biden

"President Biden will win the popular vote by 7-10 million. If Americans decide they don't want a Sociopathic Criminal destroying our Democracy, all they have to do is turn out in Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and North Carolina, and America wins." —Rob Reiner

"#Landslide victory in Michigan!" —Eric Trump

"Trump's closing message to voters for today's presidential primary was, 'Well, you have a terrible governor.' Listen, I can handle a hit. But his attacks on me are an attack on the progress we've made in our state. Michigan, I got your back. And I won't stop fighting like hell for you." —Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer
