(Reuters) – Conservative commentator Tudor Dixon won the Republican nomination for Michigan governor on Tuesday, Edison Research projected, and will face Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer in the November general election in one of the most high-profile races.
Dixon’s victory over several rivals followed a chaotic Republican primary campaign that saw half the field of candidates disqualified after a scandal involving falsified petition signatures, as well as the arrest of one contender on misdemeanor charges stemming from his presence during the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
