Michigan voters are motivated by what they expect their candidate will do if elected as president, but also by fear of what the opponent might do if elected. Supporters of Donald Trump at a rally in Saginaw, Michigan, fear a Harris presidency because they believe she is for herself, not the people, and fear communism and open borders. This group also expressed concerns about the economy and quality of work if Harris were to be elected. On the other hand, supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris at a campaign event in Flint, Michigan, fear a second Trump presidency because they believe he would become a dictator, take away freedoms, and attack abortion rights. Some also expressed concerns about their healthcare costs and reproductive rights under Trump, as well as the potential for a policy plan known as Project 2025. Overall, both sets of supporters have strong fears about the consequences of the opposing candidate winning the election, showing the significant impact of fear on voter motivation in the upcoming election.
