Broadcasting News Corporation : Republican Michigan gubernatorial candidate Tudor Dixon came out on top in Tuesday\u2019s primary following an endorsement from former President Donald Trump.<br \/>\nDixon, a former steel industry executive, defeated several other candidates who received sizable support as the battleground state\u2019s party split over the 2020 election. Dixon has supported the conspiracy theory that the election was rigged in favor of Joe Biden, but dodged a question on Sunday when pushed about the claims of a \u201cstolen election\u201d by Fox News host Brett Baier. Trump won Michigan in 2016, but President Joe Biden flipped the state blue in 2020. Dixon will run against incumbent Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in November. Among her defeated opponents was 40-year-old Ryan Kelley, who was arrested in June on misdemeanor charges connected to his participation in the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol Riot. Kelley organized rallies against Whitmer, including one where armed paramilitary groups entered the Michigan Statehouse. Also in the race were chiropractor Garrett Soldano, former auto dealership owner Kevin Rinke and Pastor Ralph Rebandt. \u201cCongratulations to Tudor Dixon on her outstanding victory tonight,\u201d Save Michigan PAC\u2019s Founder Michael Markey said in a statement. \u201cSave Michigan recognized early on that, as a businesswoman in Michigan\u2019s steel industry, an innovator, and a disruptor, Tudor has shown exactly who we need to defeat Wrecken Gretchen. We could not be more proud of her and proud to have supported her campaign.\u201d With Post Wires.
