In case you’re wondering how Trump supporters are taking the news rn, the crowd is breaking out into chants of “we won” and singing “we are the champions”
Here’s more footage of the pto-Trump crowd chanting “Maga has your back” in Lansing, MI at the state capitol
Pam Murdock, 52 told me her message to Trump today was not to lose faith and that God has a plan. On Biden winning, she said “you can’t catch someone stealing unless you let them leave the store”
Here’s Jim, who declined to give his last name but said he had worked as a poll challenger in Wayne County, MI and believed it was improper he couldn’t watch the signature verification process. He wants to tell Trump to “hang in there”
A Biden/Harris supporter has come to raise his sign in front of the capital and ppl are surrounding him w Trump signs chanting “four more years” and “stop the steal”
Mackenzie Dickens, 32, told me he came out to the rally today to show that Biden/Harris did lose the state and that there aren’t only Trump supporters in Michigan
No one here seems phased at all by the fact that the race was called for Biden. The running theme of speeches / talking to ppl here is the vote was fraudulent and Trump will prevail. Here’s the crowd chanting “we love you” to Trump from earlier
Some COVID truthers out here too
Plenty of armed protesters out here in Lansing today as well. “Recount Michigan, I know for a fact that Trump won” this woman told me.
Here’s Kevin Skinner, founder of Stand Up Michigan, who organized anti-lockdown protests in the state earlier this year. He’s calling for ppl to keep showing up at the Capitol every day at noon. “We’re not going to give up on our President Donald Trump!” he says to cheers.
Things wrapping up in Lansing. The most striking thing talking to Trump supporters in Lansing/pittsburgh/ Detroit the last few days is how diff their media info ecosystem is. They don’t trust that the media has called it for Biden but they’re also not always sure what to trust
