Endorses election fraud conspiracists DePerno and Karamo in Michigan

At a rally in Washington Township, Michigan, Trump endorsed two candidates who promoted unfounded 2020 election fraud claims: Matt DePerno for Attorney General and Kristina Karamo for Secretary of State. Trump praised DePerno as a "tough cookie" who led a discredited investigation into Antrim County vote discrepancies, despite state audits finding only a net gain of 12 votes for Trump. DePerno promised to "ensure free, fair and honest elections" as AG. Trump called Karamo's plan to "clean up Michigan's election" important, as she pledged citizenship confirmation and stricter voter ID. Both candidates embraced conspiracies about 2020 despite over 200 local audits, multiple court rulings, and a bipartisan Senate investigation all upholding Michigan's results. The endorsements represented Trump's strategy of installing election deniers in positions of power over state election administration.
