Who carries MI-08 Presidentially?

[ProgressiveModerate]

This district has traditionally been a bastion of Democratic strength in Michigan but became much more competitive in the Trump era, with the current configuration going from Obama + 17 in 2012 to just Biden + 2 today. This seat contains many poorer and dying cities like Flint and Saginaw, as well as a decent amount of rural Michigan. Generally low college attainment and lost population according to the last census.

There are a few optimistic signs for Biden though. For one he improved on Clintons 1% win in 2016. Furthermore, Democrats generally held up fine here in 2022 with Kildee winning by 10%, Whitmer carried the seat by 11%.

Who carries this seat and by how much could be key for who wins the very competative open house race here.

Can Biden hold onto this seat?

Biden should focus on this area to win MI.

Probably Trump if the polls are anywhere near accurate. Things could change before the election though. Michigan hasn't been too supportive of President Biden's campaign as of late.
