Tudor Dixon Praises Trump as She Eyes 2026 Run for Michigan Governor or Senate
Alright, let’s talk about Tudor Dixon. If you remember, she was the Republican nominee for governor in Michigan back in 2022. She went head-to-head with Gretchen Whitmer but fell short by about ten points. Well, now she’s back in the political conversation in a big way, and she’s seriously considering another run for statewide office in 2026.
The big question is—will she run for governor again or go for Michigan’s open Senate seat? Dixon hasn’t made up her mind yet, but she’s made it clear that she wants to serve Michigan in the best way possible. In a recent social media statement, she said, “I want to do the most good for our beloved state. That’s why I’m considering a run for governor or U.S. Senate.”
Also Read:What’s interesting is that Dixon is doubling down on her support for former President Donald Trump. She’s been vocal about how he’s leading the way nationally, highlighting his efforts on securing the border, boosting manufacturing jobs, and ensuring energy independence. It’s no surprise—Trump’s endorsement was a big boost for her campaign in 2022, and she’s sticking with the America First agenda.
Now, if she runs for governor, she’ll be facing an open seat. Governor Whitmer is term-limited and won’t be in the race, making it a prime opportunity for Republicans. But she’ll have competition—state Senate Minority Leader Aric Nesbitt has already announced his bid. On the Democratic side, names like Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist are floating around. Plus, Detroit’s Mayor Mike Duggan is running as an independent, which could shake things up.
If she decides to go for the Senate instead, she’d be competing for a seat left open by retiring Democrat Gary Peters. And she wouldn’t be the only Republican considering a run. Former Rep. Mike Rogers is rumored to be gearing up for another Senate bid, and Rep. John James, who has run before, might also jump in. On the Democratic side, State Sen. Mallory McMorrow and Attorney General Dana Nessel are potential contenders.
Bottom line—Tudor Dixon is keeping her options open, but she’s definitely making it clear that she’s ready to get back in the political arena. Whether it’s for governor or Senate, she’s positioning herself as a strong conservative voice in Michigan, with Trump’s backing giving her an extra edge. We’ll have to wait and see where she lands, but either way, the 2026 races in Michigan are shaping up to be highly competitive.
