Fox News Digital spoke with residents of Detroit, Michigan about the political momentum in the city as Election Day approaches in the crucial swing state.

“It had to be Trump for the whole city,” Keandre, an east Detroit resident, told Fox News Digital. “They’re all voting for Trump.”

A resident of St. Clair Shores in Macomb County said he thinks support for former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris is divided.

‘People on both sides. It’s going to be an exciting battle,” Tom said.

Two other Detroit residents who spoke to Fox News Digital supported Harris.

NEW POLL INDICATES WHETHER HARRIS OR TRUMP MAKES PROFITS WITH YOUNGER VOTERS

“All my friends who are Trumpers only think about themselves and we have to think about the world,” Ron said.

“I really like Kamala Harris because she has a lot more compassion. It’s not about yourself. It’s about everyone,” he further explained.

“I think it’s time for history to be written,” Mandela said.

“I just think it will be a female president,” he added.

A new poll from the New York Times and Siena College showed Harris with 48% support in Michigan and Trump with 47%.

Hillary Clinton narrowly lost Michigan to Trump in 2016 despite a consistent lead in the polls there, making her the first Democrat to lose the state since Michael Dukakis in 1988. Joe Biden won the state in 2020.

The Trump and Harris campaigns prioritized the Blue Wall states for campaign stops over the summer. Trump’s 2016 victory was made possible by his surprise victories in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan, all of which had long Democratic winning streaks until then. The winners of the past four elections have won the three states.

Mandela admitted he thought it was Trump, despite his support for Harris.

“I think Trump is (stronger) because I don’t think Trump will let anyone walk all over us,” he said.

When asked who was the stronger leader, Keandre said it was Harris.

“They’ll lean toward Trump because he’s already been president,” he predicted of other Detroiters.

“Not even a question. Donald J. Trump is the best leader we have to lead this country forward,” said Jeff, a Detroit native.

“We can all be better off financially under Donald Trump. Kamala has no idea about fiscal policy in this country,” he said, before pointing to the rising cost of groceries.

“In my eyes, I think Trump is,” said Austin, a native of Romeo in Macomb County. “I think he would be the stronger leader in my humble opinion.”
